Abstract
A Web-based role-play practice package for e-Learning has been developed. Conversations for the practice mainly handle request, order, or negotiation found in the business scenes. To give some interactivity to the inflexible role-play practice, each conversation has a question point where the learner is to decide on how the conversation goes on. Simple interview has been conducted to collect learners' evaluations on the interface design for this particular point. Most learners, both intermediate and advanced ones prefer learner-controlled design to automatic operation, though some advanced learners may regard automatic operation more challenging.
