Percepções dos estudantes de secretariado executivo da UFC sobre a relevância da língua inglesa na sua formação e atuação profissional

Abstract

The research reported here consists of an analysis of the perceptions of UFC Executive Secretariat students about the relevance of the English language in their training and professional performance. We specifically aimed to identify the perceptions of UFC Executive Secretariat students about the opportunities offered by the UFC for English language learning, through interviews given by the students, the answers and the bibliography on the subject were analyzed. As a result of the interviews it was noticed that the students, for the most part, understand the importance of the English language to the current market, consider that this knowledge is a differential to obtain job vacancies and believe that there are more job opportunities for a professional who has competence in English. Regarding the learning opportunities offered by the UFC, we have identified that the participants are also informed about the various courses offered within the University. However, in the students' view, the English subjects of the curricular matrix of the Executive Secretariat course do not meet the specific needs of the secretarial area.
