概要	This poster explores how students at a Japanese university in the Kansai region imagine AI agents for language learning through a creative visual task adapted from language portrait research. It begins from the premise that learners approach AI agents not as neutral tools, but through assumptions shaped by classroom experience and prior exposure to constructed agents in literature, film, manga, anime, and related media cultures. Students were asked to design and reflect on an imagined AI language-learning agent, focusing on its appearance, role, emotional tone, and relationship to the learner. Where students drew on manga and anime conventions, these visual choices were treated not simply as aesthetic preference but as part of the media repertoires through which AI agents become familiar, socially legible, and emotionally interpretable. The analysis is guided by the REACT framework, examining how the images and reflections reveal expectations related to Regulation, Emotion, Agency, Connection, and Transfer. The poster argues that these student-created representations externalise learners’ underlying beliefs about what AI agents are, how human-like they should be, and what role they should play in real interaction. It suggests that imagined forms of AI shape how learners understand, evaluate, and engage with AI in language learning.
