Nikkei Inc. and TORAIZ launch Versant English learning campaign

Nikkei Inc. Human Resources and Education Business Unit and English coaching company TORAIZ Co., Ltd. have announced the launch of the ‘Versant Challenge.’ This participatory English learning campaign is scheduled to run from August 31, 2026, to October 9, 2026.

The initiative aims to help learners visualize their progress using Versant, a global standard English communication proficiency test developed by Pearson. Participants can access 30 days of free use of the AI English learning app ‘TORAbit’ and receive 30 sessions of AI-driven English conversation practice.

To encourage habit formation and measurable results, the campaign utilizes a four-step process: learning, practicing, sharing, and measuring. Participants who post their learning progress on X (formerly Twitter) three times and submit a completion report will be eligible to receive a free Versant exam ticket.
