Advanced Filipino

FT 103BR Subject & Catalog Number

Description

This course is designed to enhance the communicative competence of the students in the advanced level. Aside from being equipped to
understand longer texts in the target language, this course will also help students to sustain conversations in Filipino and demonstrate ability to write reports and reviews on topics in various formats. They will be guided in making formal and informal presentations using appropriate language that is considered culturally acceptable in the target culture. At the end of the course, the students are expected to be able to not only perform communicative tasks with fluency but also to express opinions on a variety of social issues relevant to Philippine context and the global Filipino perspective. If a student has not yet taken Filipino language classes in the previous semesters but is exposed and has knowledge of the language as in the case of heritage learners, a placement test administered by the instructor is needed before enrolling to ensure that the student meets the qualifications for the advanced class.

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