writing exercises (Lessons 1-7 taken in Filipino 100A) WBL. Then, students learn
four necessary skills in the effective use of Filipino: paglalarawan (describing a
person, place, or feelings) still for Filipino 100A; and for Filipino 100 B WBL,
pagsasalaysay (narrating a story or an incident); paglalahad (defining and
explaining);and pangangatwiran (reasoning). The vocabulary of the student is
expanded through sample dialogues, and level-appropriate authentic reading and
listening texts.
