Hello! We are K.E.S.S. (Keio English Speaking Society)! K.E.S.S. is a historical organization celebrating its 131st year, and we are dedicated to improving communication skills in English through our daily activities! During weekdays at lunchtime, we have Noon activities where you can enjoy English conversation, and after school, we hold Home Meetings to help you develop the ability to express your opinions in English. We also have Section activities where you can participate in large-scale competitions and more! Our activities are diverse 😊 In Section activities, you can choose from four areas—Debate, Discussion, Drama, and Speech—and really sharpen your skills! Participation is not mandatory, so you can join in and enjoy at your own pace! Of course, we also have many fun events where you can connect with fellow members♪ Why not join us in enhancing your abilities to succeed in the international community while making irreplaceable friends and enjoying your university life to the fullest!?
