English Just Makes Sense: Franchise Opportunities at Wall Street Institute


Why English?

It is estimated that over $50 billion is spent in the global market by people learning English as a second language. English is, without a doubt, the international language of business. People from all walks of life know that in order get ahead, they must learn English to be successful.

Because English is so widely accepted, it has often been referred to as a "global language." And while English is not an official language in many countries, it is currently the language most often taught as a second language. In fact, countless English books, magazines, and newspapers are available in many countries around the world.

As a result of the English language's universal nature, and with today's global economy, the number of people who want to learn business English will continue to grow. 2 million people have chosen Wall Street Institute to help achieve their English language goals thus far-and we continue to be one of the top locations worldwide that adults choose to learn English.
