The purpose of this research is to develop an English learning system that makes effective use of chat. To learn a foreign language, it is essential to expose a child to it for a long period of time and to maintain motivation for learning. Focusing on the fact that Japanese people spend much more time using chat than the average of OECD member countries, we decided to use a chat app as an English learning system. This system has an English writing function and a conversation promotion function. If a user is having trouble creating an English sentence when sending a chat, the English writing function can easily create the sentence using its translation and template functions. The conversation promotion function provides topics to two users and proposes a simple reply to a user who is having trouble finding an answer during a conversation. The results of our evaluation show that conversation can be promoted by easily creating English sentences using the topic provision and template functions.
