The Languages Without Borders (IsF) program, promoted by the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) in partnership with the Andifes Network, is currently accepting registrations for free courses in Spanish, English, Italian, and Portuguese for foreigners. Registrations can be made until 12 PM on March 6 and are aimed at students, faculty, and administrative staff of UFSC.

Modalities And Requirements

The free language courses are structured for different levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and may take place in person, online, or synchronously. For remote classes, access will be provided via a digital platform, the link for which will be sent by email to the registrants. There is no registration fee; however, the teaching materials recommended by the instructor must be obtained separately.

Each class will have a limit of 25 students, and a waiting list will be created with up to 20 candidates per class. The selection will be based on the order of registration and the level of proficiency appropriate to the chosen course. Registration will be validated by completing the specific form for each language and sending the required documentation.

A Chinese factory in Guangdong is assembling a humanoid robot every 30 minutes while Tesla, Figure, and Boston Dynamics still struggle to deliver 10 thousand per year.
