Our Vision
In 2023, ANZAI Global Communications launched its activities under the slogan, “Start with a Dream!”. The aim is to develop global leaders from infants to elementary, middle, and high school students, university students, working adults, and professionals in order to cultivate the best talents who can play an active role in the world. In a global society where people of different ethnicities, nationalities, and mother tongues work together in a common language, a global leader is a person who possesses solid linguistic skills to express his or her own opinions, as well as intellectually and emotionally rich “human skills.We actively use technology to develop global leaders. One example is our dynamic Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) program. Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) is an international collaborative learning experience conducted online. We also conduct online seminars with world-renowned faculty from abroad. By implementing such a powerful instructional design, we will develop a global education that “connects with the world” and “transcends time and physical distance”, which is only possible through online distance learning.
