It was adopted two procedures for the data collection in this research of descriptive nature: bibliographic and documentary research, and quantitative survey that makes use of a questionnaire as an instrument for data collection. The questionnaire was applied to the students of the undergraduate Modern Languages course of UTFPR regularly enrolled in the subjects of Curricular Practical Training in English Language I, II and III in the second semester of 2016. Its objective was to verify how the teacher education in the course relates to the internationalization of higher education in practice.
