https://t.co/mqdkBT1Uiu partners with ISA to strengthen the NEST program!

We’re excited to announce a strategic partnership between https://t.co/mqdkBT1Uiu, the world’s first fully AI-powered English learning platform, and ISA (https://t.co/Mgq4ywHJG7), a leader in global education programs across Japan.

Through this collaboration, https://t.co/mqdkBT1Uiu will be integrated into ISA’s flagship “NEST After-School English Program,” which combines project-based, face-to-face learning with a focus on communication, collaboration, and creativity.

By bringing together https://t.co/mqdkBT1Uiu’s personalized, AI-driven practice at home and NEST’s interactive, human-centered learning in the classroom, students gain a complete English learning experience that covers all four skills (reading, listening, speaking, and writing) while also building the global competencies needed for the future.

ISA’s programs already reach more than 600–700 schools and 100,000 students nationwide, and with https://t.co/mqdkBT1Uiu, NEST will be even stronger.

Together, https://t.co/mqdkBT1Uiu and ISA are setting a new standard for English education in Japan, where students learn better with the support of AI.

------------------------

https://t.co/mqdkBT1Uiuとアイエスエイが提携し、NESTプログラムを強化！

このたび、英語の4技能を網羅する世界初のAI英語学習プラットフォーム https://t.co/mqdkBT1Uiu は、日本でグローバル教育を展開するアイエスエイ(https://t.co/Rhda0pIGAf)と戦略的提携を結びました。

今回の提携により、https://t.co/mqdkBT1UiuはISAのアフタースクール英語講座NESTに導入されます。NESTは、プロジェクト型・対話型の学習を通して、コミュニケーション力・協働力・創造力を育成します。

https://t.co/mqdkBT1Uiuの個別最適化された家庭学習 と NESTの対面での協働的な学び が一体となることで、生徒は「読む・聞く・話す・書く」の4技能を総合的に伸ばし、未来に必要なグローバルな資質を育むことができます。

ISAはすでに 全国600～700校・約10万人の生徒 に教育サービスを提供しており、https://t.co/mqdkBT1Uiuの導入でNESTはさらに進化します。

https://t.co/mqdkBT1Uiuとアイエスエイ は、AIの力を取り入れることで、生徒の学びをより豊かにする新しい教育モデルを築いていきます。

@MmeCarbonneau @joedale Thanks for your comment @MmeCarbonneau. We decided to launch a new platform to deal with some of the technical debt we had in ZenGengo, our pre-GenAI platform. We are continuing to support and maintain ZenGengo while building LingoLesson as our next-gen app for language teachers.

@bunburyoudoujp I saw this one today.. In the event of fire, inform the front desk then line up with a plastic bag over your head 😅

@elonmusk For me, my frustration stems from having to agree to browser cookies for EVERY SINGLE SITE SEPARATELY. They could, y’know, make this a browser wide setting like it used to be!

[Paul Raine @paul__call]

@mrjeffu Well they have a point.. but it’s also a bit of a grinch / Scrooge thing to say.. 😅

[Paul Raine @paul__call]

This was not announced in 12 days of shipmas.. anyone have any clue at all??? #openai

[Paul Raine @paul__call]

Whatever happened to the improved image generation capabilities @OpenAI @sama promised us many moons ago? Is this coming any time soon? @minchoi

[Paul Raine @paul__call]

@bunburyoudoujp Both the police and the forest service were called. The house was cordoned off but neither agency acted because they were both waiting for further orders. The bear died of old age. The end.

Thanks to Kevin Ryan for allowing me to share his positive teacher's testimonial on https://t.co/zMiEe97uaD. Getting this kind of feedback from a teacher is fantastic -- especially one as versed and experienced in CALL as Kevin.
