Recent changes within the Houston marketplace and Immigration laws prompt a surge in enrollment at renowned Houston-based language school, Be Bilingual - which sits ready to meet the challenge.
While the expansive staff of native-speaking instructors of Be Bilingual is able to offer clients language instruction in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Chinese and Arabic
- the significant increase in enrollment is seen in English instruction and accent reduction among professional workers, either coming into the United States to work for the first time,
or are foreign-born US workers needing to improve their English, according to Be Bilingual Director Elizabeth Thrush.
"We've seen a significant increase in enrollment over the past year and it seems that much of it has to do with growth in the oil and gas market prompting companies within this industry
to bring in additional workers from offices abroad," said Thrush.
"We also attribute the increase to changes in the immigration laws and spotlight that has been cast on foreign workers as a result of it. US company executives have a particular interest
right now in helping key foreign-born employees become more polished in their speaking and overall communication skills," Thrush added.
Thrush explained that busy professionals are able to quickly learn as a result of the one-on-one instruction and Complete Immersion sessions the school offers - which includes advanced
English writing as well.
While the school works with a large percentage of working professionals, they also teach young children, retired travelers, and individuals just wanting to learn or improve a foreign
language.
All Be Bilingual instructors are required to meet rigorous qualification exams and complete training in Be Bilingual's exclusive method of instruction.
The school also offers semi-private, small, large group and corporate classes, as well as remote instruction, translation and Advanced Conversational Spanish. Log onto
