Why Can't Those Who 'Completed' English Coaching Speak? QQEnglish Launches Summer Special Campaign for 'Boost Coaching' on June 16—Up to ¥156,000 Discount to Support English Learning Revival

## Boost Coaching Summer-Only Campaign

QQ English Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yorimitsu Fuoaka) will launch a limited-time summer special campaign for its English speaking coaching program, 'Boost Coaching,' from Tuesday, June 16, 2026, to Monday, July 6, 2026. Participants who enroll during this period will receive discounts of up to ¥156,000, which can be combined with government training subsidies (up to ¥100,000) for significant cost reduction.

## Why Can't Those Who 'Completed' Coaching Speak?—Structural Causes

Based on interviews and surveys with users of other coaching programs, QQEnglish estimates that the actual speaking time in most coaching programs over 90 days averages only about 300 minutes. Weekly consultations, shadowing, and listening assignments dominate, leaving extremely limited time for actual spoken English practice.

In language acquisition, speaking ability is formed solely through repeated speaking practice. No matter how much input one accumulates, without active speaking practice, the mouth won’t move—this is not a matter of willpower or effort, but of program design.

## A System That Makes 3,200 Minutes a 'Design Specification,' Not a 'Goal'—The Carren Method

The reason Boost Coaching can guarantee 3,200 minutes of speaking time over 90 days lies in the structure of the Carren Method itself.

Developed in London, UK, the Carren Method is an English acquisition methodology adopted by language schools in over 50 countries worldwide. In typical free-talking lessons, learners often speak for less than half of a 50-minute session. In contrast, the Carren Method involves instructors rapidly posing questions, requiring learners to immediately respond in English, resulting in fundamentally higher speaking density.

Known as a method that develops a 'thinking-in-English' mindset—enabling learners to speak reflexively without translating from Japanese—at approximately four times the speed of traditional methods.

Six sessions per week, 50 minutes each, over 90 days: this structured design results in 3,200 minutes of speaking time. The key difference from competitors is that this is not a mere promise, but a calculated design specification.

## The Unique Structural Advantage of In-House Lesson Operations

Most other coaching services outsource lessons to external language schools. In such cases, coaching consultants cannot monitor lesson content in real time and cannot intervene in teacher selection or curriculum adjustments.

Boost Coaching operates its own online English lessons and Cebu Island study abroad programs. Consultants can directly observe lesson performance and immediately intervene in teacher assignments or curriculum adjustments. Moreover, all online instructors are full-time employees of QQ English and hold TESOL certification. This vertically integrated model—'seeing and adjusting accurately'—is unique in Japan’s English coaching industry.

## Proven Results

Boost Coaching measures success solely by changes in the speaking assessment test 'VERSANT.'

- Average VERSANT score improvement: +10 points (average of all 90-day plan completers, 2022–2024)
- Maximum improvement: +26 points (individual maximum during the same period)
- Completion rate: Over 90% (program completion rate among 90-day plan enrollees during the same period)
