IFMS Opens 400 Free Slots in English, Spanish, and Libras Courses. In-Person Classes with Certificate and Start in the Second Semester!

With the advancement of globalization, learning a new language has never been so important.

Thinking about this, the Federal Institute of Mato Grosso do Sul (IFMS) offers more than 400 free slots for in-person courses in English, Spanish, and Libras (Brazilian Sign Language), with classes scheduled for the second semester of 2025.

The slots are open not only to students and staff of IFMS, but also to the general public, expanding learning opportunities for all interested.

In-Person Classes in Various Cities of MS

Classes will take place at the campuses in Aquidauana, Campo Grande, Corumbá, Coxim, Naviraí, Ponta Porã, and Três Lagoas, allowing residents from various regions of the state to access the courses offered.

With an in-person format, IFMS aims to ensure a more dynamic and effective learning experience, where students can interact directly with the teacher and peers, facilitating the process of language acquisition.

Courses and Teaching Materials

The courses are structured in two stages, each lasting three semesters. However, students need to acquire the teaching materials, which are specific to each language. Check out the adopted works:

Spanish: Nuevo Ven 1 (first stage) and Nuevo Ven 2 (second stage), from Edelsa Publishing.
English: Interchange 1, 5th Edition (first stage) and Interchange 2, 5th Edition (second stage), from Cambridge University Press.
Libras: LIBRAS? What Language is This? by Audrei Gesser, published by Parábola Publishing.

Upon completing each stage, students will receive certificates valid across Brazil, acknowledging their education in English, Spanish, or Libras.

Inclusion and Accessibility with Libras

The offering of Libras in the course plays a fundamental role in the inclusion of the deaf community and is one of IFMS’s main commitments to promote a more accessible and equitable education.

Mastering sign language not only provides a differential in various professions but is also an important step towards building a more inclusive society.

Professional Benefits of Learning a New Language

Studies indicate that mastering languages can significantly increase career prospects. Professionals fluent in English, for instance, can achieve salaries up to 61% higher than those who do not speak the language. In the case of Spanish, the salary increase can be up to 35%.

Knowledge of Libras has also become an increasing differential in public competitions and the job market, especially in fields such as education, health, and public service.

How to Enroll

Enrollment can be done until June 23 through the IFMS Selection Center, where the complete announcement is available, with all the information about the selection process.

The selection will be conducted through an electronic draw on July 18, with live broadcasting on IFMS’s official YouTube channel.

The final classification and notification for registration will take place on July 25. Classes will begin in August, with the exact date to be confirmed.

For those who already have basic knowledge of the language, it will be possible to take a placement test between June 27 and July 7, to secure a spot in more advanced classes.

Candidates who do not meet the required level will be included in the lottery for basic level classes, if there are available spots.
