@ Jessica That sounds alright I guess, but in terms of the lEnglish-speaking context, this would not be used as a subject title in my opinion. As I explained, the common usage is "Mastering language (skills)", or something similar to skills - i.e. "language mastery" is a rather conversational way to express the idea.
NOTE: I added the dictionary definitions of the noun and verb for "mastering", as background assistance, the noun form is not often use din subject titles by English-speaking authors/users.

@Lara
I ended up using Langague mastery.

@ Jessica What is the term you eventually used? I do not think that my whole phrase could have been used.....?

Prescriptive language theory, Prescriptive, excessive rules, perfectionism, seems to be replaced after 100 years, time of Berlitz, by naturalism. (In school we did past prsent futue of Chinese and German, when we only knew a few words) spent more time repeating words (perfect pronounciation) when we hardley knew any words.
https://www.berlitz.com/about/the-berlitz-method "After six weeks, Berlitz returned to the classroom expecting his students to be far behind in their language development. Instead, to his surprise, his students were more engaged than ever, communicating in an animated exchange of questions and answers – in** perfect** French!"" (don't think so)

@Lara
This is one of the subjects on a post-graduation course; it's meant to enhance linguistic skills.

@ Jessica Could you give any further information about what this entails, or even any other uses within this document.?

Mastering Language (skills)

In English we commonly call language competency "mastery". "Mastering [Name f language]" is a common colloquialism, and is often used in formal course titles too.

[enhanced] language training

Sugestão. Use "enhanced" se esse "aperfeiçoamento" for algo como um reforço. Ou use apenas "language training" se for uma matéria mais ampla, geral etc.

linguistic perfection

,,,
Peer comment(s):

disagree Diogo Garcia : Aperfeiçoamento means improvement (in this case, their linguistic skills). Perfection is ambiguous. It can be the act of perfecting, which wouldn't be wrong, but also the state of being perfect, which would be the most common interpretation.

Honing language acquisition skills

Naturally, this tends to imply some residual knowledge, rather than learning a language from scratch, but this covers the meaning here in my opinion;
