Learning and studying a new language, especially English, provides a range of possibilities, whether professional, academic, or cultural. At Unijuí, there is a professional qualification course aimed at those who seek to learn the language and improve their skills at it, both for academic productions and to advance their speaking abilities in a qualified way, with ample assistance from teachers.

Inglês no Campus, as it is called, offers courses at levels A1, A2, B1, B2, and C1, all of them with the support from Altissia language platform. In total, the courses have 12 one-hour synchronous class meetings, they offer certification, and study time is registered on the platform. The course is aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students, professors, administrative and support staff, Unijuí alumni, and the general community.

“Today we have a much greater number of non-native speakers than native speakers of English in the world. It is a global language, it is the language of science, culture, and music. In any research that is carried out, we will be able to locate a much larger base in English than other languages, so it allows for greater possibilities, hence the importance of this course, to encourage and cultivate the study of English”, comments the professor Carlos Montano, who also highlights the exchange programs that Unijuí offers in different countries, which require the use of English, both in classes and in everyday life.

Regarding the importance of the learning opportunities offered by Unijuí, professor Lucas Prauchner highlights that the partnership with Altissia provides a range of alternatives, both for the learning of English and other languages. “Altissia offers 25 language options, and they can be accessed and studied simultaneously”, he highlights

According to the teachers, learning is not set in stone, that is, you can seek alternatives and more study sources, such as documentaries, articles, news, anything that allows for better understanding and a greater possibility of expanding your studies. “Everything that is done extra can, indeed, help with learning. Experiencing the language and consuming it is fundamental”, adds Lucas.

Foreign Languages Day takes place next Wednesday, May 8th, and it will feature a broad schedule. The objective is to make students develop skills beyond their native language, with the aim of showing the importance of learning a foreign language and encouraging this learning.
