MOMOKA Reveals the Secrets Behind Passing the Eiken Pre-1 Test.
An interview with MOMOKA Ariyasu, former member of MCZ, was featured in the English-learning special edition of the business magazine The 21.
A portion of the interview is available on the web; as usual, here’s the link via automatic translation:
The Eiken Pre-1 (Test in Practical English Proficiency) that MOMOKA passed is considered to require upper-intermediate to advanced English ability, roughly equivalent to CEFR B2-C1.
It covers social issues, current events, and academic topics, with a high standard across vocabulary, reading, listening, and writing. In TOEIC terms, this corresponds to around 800-900 points, representing a level where one can discuss and express opinions fluently in English.
In the article, MOMOKA speaks in detail about her journey of perseverance - how her wish to sing jazz songs in English led her to focus on pronunciation, and how she adopted the “double test-taking” method, taking two adjacent levels of the Eiken simultaneously to challenge herself and progress step by step.
She also notes that through English study, her awareness of global news, language, and expression deepened, expanding her worldview and sense of curiosity.
There’s much anticipation for what lies ahead in her artistic and personal growth.
