Abstract(in English) We have proposed a conversational agent to support a non-native speaker in his/her second language conversation. The agent joins the conversation and makes intervention by a simple script based on the turn-taking rule for taking the agent’s turn, and gives the next turn to the non-native speaker. In this paper, we report the change of participants ' conversation in a laboratory experiment using proposed agent.
