Aoba-BBT Global to Host 'Osaka English Camp 2026' for Elementary and Middle School Students

Aoba-BBT Global, a subsidiary of Aoba-BBT, announced the 'Osaka English Camp 2026 – Speak Up, Step Out!' for students from 4th grade to the first year of junior high. The 4-day residential camp will be held from July 21 (Tue) to July 24 (Fri), 2026, at the Osaka International Youth Hostel in Takaishi City, Osaka. Free online information sessions and individual consultations begin on May 20, 2026.

Background: Even as technology and AI reduce language barriers, the ability to express thoughts and collaborate with others remains crucial. However, students in Japan often lack real-world experience using English. Leveraging the Aoba-BBT Group’s extensive experience in international education, this camp provides an immersive opportunity for students to practice English.

Key Program Features: - Ability-Based Grouping: Up to 40 students are divided into three groups based on their proficiency levels, ensuring an inclusive environment for all. - Structured Workshops: Four themed workshops ranging from Ice Breakers to Storytelling and Discussions, concluding with a final English presentation. - Outdoor Experience: Includes activities like a 'Nature Scavenger Hunt' in Hamadera Park and campfires to facilitate practical English use outside the classroom. - Comprehensive Safety: 24/7 staff presence and daily activity reports sent to parents via LINE.
