With the search for internationalization processes in higher education, Brazilian universities have also begun incorporating programs that contribute to this learning. Based on this, this work sought to investigate the profile and perspective of students enrolled in the Global Classes disciplines provided by the PUCPR’s Internationalization in Home program, from a questionnaire answered by 97 students seeking to understand their motivations and emotions, through a bibliographic review. As a result, it was found that the participant's profile is composed of 70% of individuals who have already studied the language of the discipline, which favors emotions of confidence, calm, and enthusiasm about the language and content. However, there are still dysregulating emotions that can be motivated by the lack of monitors in the classroom, since 66.7% of students do not have this possibility. With this, it is concluded that the disciplines offer a favorable basis for integration and acquisition, together with the contents of the courses and the dynamics of each area. Still, it is perceived that this can be amplified since the construction of an emotionally adept person helps in self-regulation and the individual search of each student for acquisition.Downloads
