Chicago (May 21st, 2008): Miyuki Mizutani, Director of the Education Department
at Okayama, Japan's Amity Corporation, announced recently the inception of a new
English immersion course for young learners. Amity is Japan's largest private
institution dedicated to teaching
children English skills and it has more than 20,000 students dispersed
throughout its 75 specialty schools.

The new immersion course focuses on
teaching young children the fundamentals of English pronunciation, intonation, and
natural communication in English. Parents and students will spend two to three days
a week at Amity for over 300 minutes of personal instruction in the classroom. The
immersion course will combine a collection of vibrant, creative texts, storybooks,
songs and materials to stimulate student's learning in an active, engaging learning
environment.

Amity schools combine the talents of Native English Teachers
hired to live and teach in Japan and Japanese English Teachers, instructors from
Japan who have a skillful command of English. The teachers work in tandem in the
Immersion Course to offer students a comprehensive lesson catering to the
fundamentals of excellent English use. The immersion course is now offered at each
of Amity's 75 schools.

Amity is a division of the AEON Corporation of Japan
and has grown to become the leading conversational English school in Japan for children.
Amity has been operating independently of AEON since 1994 and has developed a
world-wide native teacher recruiting system since 2005. Amity regularly recruits
teachers from all across North America and the United Kingdom. Amity has offices in
Chicago, Los Angeles and Toronto. Each office contributes greatly to the
recruitment of highly-qualified teachers who will live in Japan on one-year
contracts and
teach English in Japan.

The Amity Corporation hires talented
native-speaking professionals from around the world through its recruiting offices
enabling Japanese students to receive the highest quality English instruction while
profiting from the rich cultural experience of their diverse teaching faculty.

Amity Corporation recruits English as Foreign Language (EFL) teachers throughout
the calendar year from its North American offices. Annually, the Amity Corporation
recruiters hire more than 130 professionals - all meeting high educational,
professional and personal standards - to move to Japan to become EFL instructors at
schools spread across the main island Honshu in Japan.

AEON Corporation of
Japan, Amity's parent company, has been an innovator in the field of English
education for more than 30 years, offering exceptional classroom and internet
opportunities to study and master the language for students beyond grammar school
age. Founded in 1973 by Kiyoshi Aki, AEON has grown to become one of the largest and
most respected private educational institutes of its kind, with more than 3,000
employees. Current student enrollment exceeds 100,000 in more than 300 branch
schools located within every prefecture of Japan. AEON employs a teaching staff of
over 800 teachers and education specialists from English-speaking nations.

Taken together, AEON's tremendous success and Amity's stellar instruction for
children of all ages, the AEON Amity Corporation has created the pre-eminent English
language teaching enterprise in Japan.
