This study proposes a feedback system to support smooth communication in group discussions (GD). Designed based on student ideas, this system features alert signs that encourage participants to improve their communication behaviors. Inspired by previous research, including "Presentation Sensei", the system addresses key GD challenges, such as excessive speaking speed, hesitation, monotone speech, lack of eye contact, and closed body language. The alert signs are categorized into four types: (1) Speech Improvement (adjusting speaking speed and hesitation), (2) Non-Verbal Communication Support (enhancing gestures and posture), (3) Active Listening Reinforcement (encouraging nodding and smiling), and (4) Participation and Discussion Flow Management (promoting active speech and time control). By utilizing visual feedback, this study presents a novel approach to improving GD quality and fostering participants' communication skills.
