AIED Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Thomas Hiroshi Sasaki; hereinafter referred to as "AIED"), provider of English speaking evaluation AI technology "CHIVOX® (Chiboxx)", announces that it will provide the English speaking evaluation AI "CHIVOX" for Surarana Net Co., Ltd.'s (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Takahiko Yunokawa; hereinafter referred to as "Surarana Net") new curriculum "Elementary School English", scheduled to be launched in July 2026. In "Elementary School English", CHIVOX will be integrated into two content areas where learners practice speaking aloud: "PHONICS" and "CONVERSATION", responsible for pronunciation evaluation and feedback, allowing learners to compare their own pronunciation with the model. ■ Partnership Since 2021 Expanded to Elementary School English Learning AIED and Surarana Net have collaborated in the field of English pronunciation learning since 2021, when CHIVOX was first provided for the interactive ICT curriculum "Surara". In the existing content, CHIVOX provides a speaking AI function that judges the pronunciation of read-aloud English sentences, enabling learning through comparison with a model. Now, CHIVOX has also been adopted for "Elementary School English", newly developed by Surarana Net for the elementary school level, expanding the collaboration between the two companies to English learning for elementary school students. "Elementary School English" will be available from July 2026 and is designed to foster a foundation for junior high school English through three learning components: the rules of letters and sounds "PHONICS", English words "WORDS", and English expressions "CONVERSATION". CHIVOX will evaluate the audio for "PHONICS" and "CONVERSATION", where learners pronounce and speak aloud.
