Urgent: Free Webinar to Tackle TOEIC Listening Challenges – Master British, Australian & More!
Tokyo, Japan – December 22, 2025 – Are you prepping for the TOEIC exam and dreading the listening section? Creek & River, Inc. is offering a lifeline with a free webinar designed to conquer one of the biggest hurdles for Japanese test-takers: understanding diverse English accents. This isn’t just another prep course; it’s a targeted strategy session to unlock higher scores, and it’s happening February 18, 2026.
Why Accent Familiarity is Crucial for TOEIC Success
For many students in Japan, English education heavily emphasizes American English. While proficiency in American pronunciation is valuable, the TOEIC listening section throws a curveball – a mix of American, Canadian, British, and Australian accents. This can leave even well-prepared students struggling to comprehend the audio. This webinar directly addresses this gap, providing practical insights and techniques to navigate these variations.
What You’ll Learn: Decoding the Accents
Led by seasoned English teacher Mika Kaida, a TOEIC L&R 990 scorer, the webinar will break down the nuances of each accent. Expect a deep dive into:
- The Four Key Accents: A comprehensive overview of American, Canadian, British, and Australian English as they appear on the TOEIC.
- Pronunciation Breakdown: Beyond the famous “water” example (pronounced “wah-tah” in the US vs. “woh-tah” in the UK), Kaida will dissect the specific phonetic differences that trip up test-takers.
- Vocabulary Variations: The same word can mean different things – or be pronounced entirely differently – depending on the accent. This webinar highlights the most common pitfalls.
- Live Q&A: Get your burning questions answered directly by an expert.
