Intermediate Filipino I

PREREQUISITE: SCA-UA 321 AND 322.

One semester of Filipino can count as an SCA faculty elective for the Asian/Pacific/American or SCA majors/minors.

At this level, when the basic skills and working vocabulary have been mastered, emphasis can be placed on the linguistic rules to enable the student to communicate with more competence. There is also a focus on translation. Lessons use a holistic approach and incorporate discussions on history, current events, literature, pop culture, and native values. To observe and experience the language at work, the course includes field trips to Filipino centers in the New York/ New Jersey area, as well as invited guests who converse with students in Filipino about their life and work.
