| Sumario: | Mastery of the English language is essential for academic development and job market integration. In this context, the aim of this study was to compare two projects that provided an online English course during the pandemic and in-person for the internal and external community of the State University of Minas Gerais (UEMG) in Passos, Minas Gerais. Thus, two English courses were developed, basic levels in 2021 and 2022, and pre-intermediate in 2022, with classes designed to promote language learning combined with cultural exposure. The classes were conducted weekly online in 2021 and at the university premises in 2022. The high number of registrations indicates the need for adaptations to accommodate a broader audience. However, long-term language courses often face high dropout rates. To mitigate this issue, it is recommended that future course offerings include classes at various times, more level options, and various modalities. |
