Borderlink, Inc., a subsidiary operating the foreign language education support business of EdTech company RareJob, Inc., announces the launch of new interview-style "video content" and "dedicated worksheets" to support inquiry-based learning on its English learning website "ALTogether".

## What is ALTogether?
ALTogether is an English learning website operated by Borderlink. The site's name comes from "ALT (Assistant Language Teacher) *1 + Together". It uses real episodes experienced by ALTs in their home countries or in Japan as teaching materials, operating with the desire to deepen students' understanding not only of English learning but also of different values, cultures, and geography.
*1 ALT (Assistant Language Teacher): An assistant instructor whose native language is a foreign language. They provide guidance on English pronunciation and communication by assisting homeroom teachers in English classes at elementary, junior high, and high schools, and in activities familiarizing children with English at kindergartens and nursery schools.
## Background of New Feature Development
In recent years, the importance of "inquiry-based learning," where children independently set challenges, gather information, organize and analyze it, and synthesize and express their thoughts, has been increasing in schools. However, in the fields of English and international understanding education, it has been difficult for children to feel a connection to the real "world" and "different cultures" using only traditional teaching materials, making it hard to ignite their spirit of inquiry.
Borderlink has multinational ALTs from over 60 countries who are active in schools nationwide. We believed that by maximizing their diverse backgrounds and rich knowledge and experiences as "living learning materials," we could stimulate children's intellectual curiosity and guide them to deeper "inquiry learning." These thoughts for the educational frontlines led to the development of this "Video Content + Dedicated Worksheet."
## Video Category Vol. 1: "Country Quiz"
As the first installment of video content introducing inquiry-based learning, we are providing the "Country Quiz," where students can enjoyably learn about countries around the world from multinational ALTs.
### [Features of the Country Quiz Video]
- (1) A "quiz format" that draws children in
Students guess which country it is by gathering hints from the ALT's answers to questions like "What's the time difference from Japan?", "What's the most famous food?", and "What's a popular sport?" Children cultivate a proactive learning attitude and thinking skills while enjoying it like a puzzle-solving game.
- (2) "Living English" learned from multinational ALTs
By being exposed to "living English" spoken by ALTs from various countries, students can experience the commonalities and differences of English spoken around the world. Doing so
