Elementary School Students Offer Hospitality to Foreign Tourists in English: QQ Kids and Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Japan Hold English Customer Service Experience Events in Tokyo and Osaka

QQ Kids, an online English conversation service for children operated by QQ English Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yorimitsu Fujioka; hereinafter referred to as QQEnglish), will hold an English customer service experience event for elementary school students in Tokyo and Osaka in July 2026, in collaboration with Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Japan Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President: Takako Wakatsuki; hereinafter referred to as KKDJ).

In this event, participating elementary school students will challenge themselves to introduce products and guide tastings to foreign visitors in English, acting as KKDJ store crew members. By using the English they have learned in actual stores, we aim to provide an opportunity for children to experience success with "English being understood," thereby improving their confidence and motivation to learn.

Background of the Event

English education has become compulsory in elementary schools since fiscal year 2020, significantly increasing opportunities for children to encounter English. However, opportunities to actually use the English they learn are limited, and the number of chances to experience success with "English being understood" is not necessarily high.

In recent years, with the increase in foreign tourists visiting Japan, communication in English has become more commonplace. Furthermore, due to the effects of the weak yen and rising prices, the demand for "real English experiences within Japan" as an alternative to overseas travel or study abroad is also growing. Therefore, QQ Kids and KKDJ planned this event to create opportunities for children to actually use English, using real stores frequented by foreign tourists as the stage.

Event Content

Participating elementary school students will wear Krispy Kreme Doughnuts paper hats and event-exclusive original T-shirts, challenging themselves to English customer service as "Kids Crew" for one day.

On the day, after practicing English phrases in advance, they will introduce recommended products and guide tastings to foreign customers in English. They will also experience the joy of using English through actual communication, such as handing over English message cards created by the children themselves.

Sales operations will not be conducted; the program will focus on communication in English.
