Abstract
This paper describes how virtual humans can be used as role players in for communicative tasks that require modification of one's social skills. Examples are discussed, including systems for intercultural communication and doctor-patient interviewing, and we conclude with a discussion of the challenges of providing individualized practice by dynamically adjusting the behaviors of virtual humans to meet specific learner needs.
