In recent years, it has been demonstrated that proficiency in foreign languages is a fundamental tool for personal and professional development.
Learning English and French, in particular, can provide students with a range of benefits, both in the academic and professional realms.
In the academic sphere, English and French are widely used languages in international higher education. Therefore, mastering these languages can facilitate access to educational programs at universities around the world.
In the professional arena, both languages are highly sought after by international companies. Consequently, acquiring proficiency in these languages can enhance students’ career prospects.
This is why the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) offers an excellent opportunity for students of all levels to learn and improve their English and French language skills.
UNAM offers free language courses through its Virtual Language Environment (Ambiente Virtual de Idiomas – AVI) platform.
These courses are designed to assist students in learning and enhancing their language skills in a self-directed manner.
The courses focus on the four main language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. With a practical and enriching approach, students can acquire essential linguistic abilities for effective communication in English and French.
Furthermore, the platform also provides Learning Support Units (Unidades de Apoyo para el Aprendizaje – UAPA) that allow students to practice topics they find most challenging during their study process. These UAPA units are for self-assessment, and students can complete them as needed.
The beauty of this tool lies in its flexibility, as it has no set schedules or costs. Students can access it at any time and learn at their own pace.
To enroll in AVI courses, interested individuals must create an account on the platform. Once they have an account, they can access the courses and start learning.

This UNAM initiative serves as an example of how public educational institutions can contribute to societal development by providing access to quality educational opportunities.
