Business and English Language Education in Japan: Another Step in the Nova Saga
The Osaka District Court recently sentenced Nova’s president, Nozomu Sahashi, to three and a half years in prison for skimming off employee funds. Sahashi stole the funds in 2007 during Nova’s last days; he was just a step ahead of the giant foreign language school’s bankruptcy in October.
Prosecutors had sought a five-year sentence and many were surprised that the judge handed down such a severe sentence. Sahashi will undoubtedly appeal and the appeals process will take some time. Some Japanese businessmen sentenced to prison terms never serve them. Nova was Japan’s biggest foreign language school chain and employed more foreign nationals than any other company in Japan.
The Nova Group was founded in August 1981. Nozomu Sahashi opened the first Nova classroom in Shinsaibashi, Osaka with two high school graduates from Sweden and Canada. Sahashi had met them thanks to a friend who was studying abroad in Paris. Over 20 years later at its peak points, Nova was nearing a half a million students with 50% of the total market share calculated according to revenue and a 66% market share calculated according to the number of students.
Nova’s high numbers were thanks to their very aggressive and extensive advertising in newspapers and on television and billboards everywhere. Many Nova classrooms were located in visible locations near train stations, key locations for doing business in Japan. Nova used the Nova pink rabbit as their company character and the rabbit often appeared in television commercials. Children liked the rabbit and its popularity skyrocketed. Nova introduced Nova pink rabbit merchandise, selling over two million dollars worth in the first two weeks alone.

Language Connect Are Crowned Business Language Champions
Language Connect has completed the first in a planned series of interactive school workshops aimed at encouraging secondary school pupils to realise the benefits of language learning.
Language Connect devised the workshops in close collaboration with the Convent of Jesus and Mary Language College in Willesden, London to educate its students about career opportunities in the translation and interpreting services industry. The workshops confirm Language Connect’s commitment to support the Business Language Champions programme which is aimed at inspiring young people to learn languages through interaction with the business community.
The Convent of Jesus and Mary Language College was an ideal choice for the workshops because of its specialist status as a language college and the large numbers of its pupils for whom English is a second language. Following consultation with the school, Language Connect designed the first workshop for Year 10 and 11 students whose first language is Polish.
The workshop’s aim was to help students realise that their natural linguistic abilities could lead to opportunities in higher education and even a career in the language services industry. The workshop successfully achieved this goal by involving the students in an interactive session where they could directly use their bilingual skills in a face-to-face interpreting context. A Language Connect interpreter demonstrated with other staff some typical interpreting scenarios to help the students understand the basic principles. The students then created and acted out role play dialogues themselves in scenarios such as a doctor’s surgery and a courtroom. The best role plays were rewarded with Language Connect certificates.
