Lexxicorp Announces Successful Exhibition at E-Learning Trade Show in Tokyo

Lexxicorp Pty., Ltd. (www.lexxicorp.com) reports that its Tokyo-based affiliate Trans-Asia Inc. has successfully exhibited its innovative e-learning site Study-Now (www.study-now.com) at e-Learning WORLD 2002, a major e-learning trade show held in Tokyo, Japan between July 26 and 28, 2002.

The Study-Now booth welcomed a steady stream of visitors, who were deterred by neither rain nor the summer heat. Study-Now was universally praised as state-of-the-art e-learning content for language learners. Trans-Asia, which acts as the sales and support agent for Study-Now in Japan, reports that it was able to commence negotiations with a number of visitors to the booth.

Lexxicorp itself was represented at e-Learning World by Jason Edwards, Australia Country Manager, and Craig Dunn, IT Manager. Notes Mr. Edwards, “We were impressed that we were able to welcome visitors not only from Japan but also from countries such as Vietnam and the United States. The event raises our profile in Japan and is a useful precursor to our eventual rollout in the Asia-Pacific region.”

Study-Now consists of 200 lessons, each running about one hour. Each lesson presents a realistic business situation and is replete with topical business terminology. Extensive use of audio aids with listening comprehension and is ideal for students wishing to prepare for English skills tests. All relevant points of grammar and style are covered in the course. The site launched in July, with sales initially targeting companies and other organizations. Study-Now will be made available to the general public in early October.
