AB  - Researchers and educators traditionally consider pedagogical agents asanimated talking “heads” embedded in the educational computer programs thathelp to deliver the multimedia content or engage students in the learningprocess. However, the authors of thisresearch define the pedagogical agent as a character of any kind (video-,cartoon-character, or even a non-interactive book-character) that helpsstudents to learn. The educational function is the crucial feature of anypedagogical agent, according to authors. Thus, in this article, they describethe different types of pedagogical agents they have created and used inteaching language, particularly Russian as a foreign language for the last 15years of their work. Any teacher can quickly implement most of thesepedagogical agents’ types in his/her lessons since they do not require theknowledge of programming and computer design. The pedagogical agents describedby authors in this research have proven their efficiency during theexperimental training in multinational and diverse level groups ofinternational students who studied the Russian language at RUDN University(Moscow, Russia).
