Intermediate Filipino (Tagalog) II

FT 102B Subject & Catalog Number

Description

This course is designed to increase the communicative competency of the learners in Filipino, the national language of the Philippines. This
aims to further develop the understanding of the students on the more complex sentence structures along with a range of texts relevant to
Philippine culture, traditions, history, and other contemporary topics in the Filipino society. Building up on some basic skills acquired in the
previous Filipino language courses or through exposure and experience as in the case of heritage learners, this course equips students in  addressing daily needs with the use of the target language through a mix of communicative, content-based, task-based, and other relevant approaches. It also capacitates the students in participating in social transactions and in a variety of communicative situations ensuring that the language skills learned will be used for practical purposes. If an interested student has not yet taken a year of introductory Filipino class, a placement test administered by the instructor is needed before enrolling to ensure that the student meets the qualifications for the intermediate class.

No auditors will be permitted. Enrolled students must take the course for a letter grade.
