Aoba-BBT Global Launches Innovative Eiken Coaching Program for Students

Aoba-BBT Global Unveils New Eiken Coaching Program

In a bid to enhance English proficiency among Japanese students while addressing existing educational gaps, Aoba-BBT Global, a subsidiary of Aoba-BBT Corporation based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has announced the launch of its new online program: Project-based Eiken Coaching Program. This innovative initiative will commence on October 20, 2025, offering students a flexible and effective way to prepare for the Eiken English proficiency tests through the Hatchlink Junior online platform.

The Need for Enhanced English Skills

According to the latest report from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and the National Institute for Educational Policy Research, the 2023 National Assessment of Academic Ability revealed concerning statistics about English education in Japan. The average accuracy rate across listening, reading, and writing skills only reached 46.1%, indicating a significant gap in educational outcomes. Of these skills, writing was particularly alarming, with only a 24.1% accuracy rate. The data highlights disparities among regions and schools, suggesting that many students face challenges in accessing quality English education due to geographical and temporal constraints.

In an era where external English tests are becoming more pivotal for university entrances, students must strive to improve their writing and speaking skills, which are severely lacking. To address these challenges, Aoba-BBT Global advocates for a self-directed learning environment enriched by technology.

Overview of the Eiken Coaching Program

The Project-based Eiken Coaching Program is designed as a tailored coaching approach to English proficiency testing. With experienced instructors providing individual feedback on assignments submitted online, students can develop their skills in a systematic and engaging manner. The program encourages a rhythm of learning with assignments twice a week, effectively enhancing listening, reading, and writing abilities.

Over the course of 22 sessions, students will also participate in four mock exams accompanied by one-on-one coaching from qualified instructors in the Philippines, giving them authentic test preparation experiences and boosting their confidence.

Key Features of the Program

1. Personalized Feedback for Steady Improvement: Each assignment submitted will receive detailed feedback from instructors, focusing on grammar, vocabulary, and expression, with additional study resources suggested for reinforcing weaknesses.
2. Convenient Learning via LINE: Utilizing LINE for assignment submission and feedback allows students to learn at their convenience, wherever they are, through their smartphones or computers.
3. Combining Mock Exams with Personalized Coaching: The mock exams and personalized coaching sessions aim to strengthen practical exam-taking skills, closely mirroring real test conditions.
4. Flexible Scheduling: With no fixed class times, even busy students involved in extracurricular activities can participate without added stress.
