　　Thanks to the efforts of a great many people, Kaichi International University hosted its 11^th Annual English Speech Contest on November 2^nd, 2025 in Komorebi Hall. The theme for this year’s contest was “Tradition vs. Innovation – Finding a Balance.” Three contestants spoke on the theme for 5 to 7 minutes in front of peers, judges, and audience members. Despite the difficulty of this year’s theme, every contestant rose to the challenge to speak as sincerely and competently as they could, encouraging all present to think carefully and conscientiously about what “Tradition vs. Innovation” really means. As public speaking is no small matter for students, our heartfelt congratulations are extended to all the contestants who participated in this year’s contest including, Nomin Erdene Batsaikhan (Mongolia) who finished first, Ha Chau Giang Tran (Vietnam) who finished second, and Kazuki Koishi (Japan) who finished third.
