TOEIC English Test Score Distribution ('10~'11)

[100,000+ can read/listen to English]

Those who have 800+ score has great skill of Reading/Listening to English.

However, 90% of them are considered not to be able to speak English.

PROBLEM to tackle

I have no opportunity

to speak English…

[The ONLY thing they need is opportunity]

Under the Japanese education system, studentsnever enhance their English speaking skill.

Moreover, it’s too costly to go to private Englishschool or to study abroad.

VISION

We make Japan lively

We maximize people‟s possibility

by eliminating language barrier.

To create the

INFRASTRUCTURE of English

We massively provide English speaking opportunities.
