Filipino/Tagalog Placement Exam

September 26, 2007

Looking to fulfill your language requirement or just learn the national language of the Philippines? If you are interested in taking Beginning Tagalog (SE Asian 70A), Intermediate Tagalog (SE Asian 71A) or Advanced Tagalog (SE Asian 172A) but have not taken any previous classes at UCLA, come take the Filipino placement exam:

When: Friday, September 28, 3PM to 5PM
Where: Haines A2

The exam will cover reading and listening comprehension as well as writing. Even if you do not consider yourself fluent, take the exam anyway -- it might save you some extra units!

ALSO Beginning Tagalog is currently waitlisted, but attend the first few classes if you want to enroll and it is most likely you will get in. Intermediate and Advanced Tagalog are still open and require you to have completed SEAsian 70C or 71C respectively, or have the permission of the instructor. SE Asian 172A is only offered once every three years so take advantage of this rare opportunity!
