The Booming Oil & Gas Industry Brings Workers from Abroad as Immigration Laws Prompt Companies to Help Key Employees at Home, both Necessitating Improved English and Assistance from Leading Language Professionals
HOUSTON – 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 www.bebilingual.com to learn more and read what graduates are saying.

I really enjoyed the group Spanish lessons. It was a great way to learn a new language and interact with other people. It gave us the opportunity to learn as we helped each other out as well!
The book was easy to follow and good for individuals or groups. The instructor was great and made the class fun! I looked forward to my classes each week! It is a very professional organization and I highly recommend the (Corporate) group lessons!
