Bizmates Introduces Innovative Shadowing Feature

In an effort to enhance the efficiency of English language learning for busy professionals, Bizmates Inc., headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, announced the launch of a new shadowing feature in their English learning application, the Bizmates App, on August 6th, 2025. The app is specifically designed for business people who can utilize their spare time to improve their English skills effectively. A standout feature of the app is its ability to automatically generate personalized role-play materials based on the user's job and responsibilities.

The newly added shadowing function allows users to directly utilize these personalized materials for practical audio training, focusing on developing listening and speaking abilities. Shadowing is a technique where individuals listen to English audio and then try to repeat it immediately. This method not only enhances pronunciation, intonation, and speaking pace but also hones the essential skills of listening and speaking needed for real-world conversations. By recording and playing back their own voice while repeating, learners can objectively review their speaking style, thus acquiring a more natural and effective way of expressing themselves in English.

Since its inception, the Bizmates App has included various features aimed at improving pronunciation and listening skills, such as pronunciation evaluation tools and quizzes to measure listening comprehension. With the introduction of the shadowing capability, the app now incorporates an output element, encouraging users to practice speaking aloud, thereby enriching its role as a practical learning tool.

The core functionality of the app—the automatic generation of role-play scenarios—allows AI to create materials that accurately simulate real business situations tailored to the learner's profession, tasks, and interaction partners. For instance, a user in public relations might engage in simulations concerning initial responses to crisis situations on social media, while a project manager could practice reporting new business strategies for the Japanese market during a global executive meeting, incorporating market analysis and KPIs.
