Abstract(in English) In this study, we proposed an RPG game-type learning system that allows users to freely walk-through in a virtual space and to talk with virtual characters in the virtual space using foreign language to reduce their hesitation to speak in foreign language. As a result of analyzing the immersive dialogue experience based on the factors of movement in the virtual world and the user's viewpoint type, there was no significant difference. We consider that the reality of the experimental system should be improved and that the experimental design should include the evaluation of the active attitude to speak without hesitation.
