Focusing on conversational structures that have a certain commonality at the task level, we studied a general-purpose conversational control model. We also showed that the system can generate more diverse conversational scenarios than human-created ones, and that the system can evaluate the level of the generated conversational scenarios. We have also shown that the system can evaluate the level of the generated conversation scenarios. Furthermore, we conducted evaluations by experts in second language education and obtained evaluation results that suggest the usefulness of the system from the perspective of self-regulated learning. These results indicate that the system is capable of generating scenarios that can adaptively control conversation according to the learner's level of proficiency in second language communication motivation.
