Abstract: Despite years of efforts to improve ESL education in Japan, the country ranked 92nd globally for English proficiency in 2024, its worst-ever ranking (EF Epi, 2024).The struggles of Japanese students, particularly with oral English, are highlighted by a national test where third-year junior high students averaged only 30.8% in speaking (Long & Watanabe, 2021).
