The course analyzes Philippine history from multiple perspectives through the lens of selected primary sources coming from various disciplines and of different genres. Students are given opportunities to analyze the author's background and main arguments, compare different points of view, identify biases and examine the evidences presented in the document. The discussions will tackle traditional topics in history and other interdisciplinary themes that will deepen and broaden their understanding of Philippine political, economic, cultural, social, scientific and religious history. Priority is given to primary materials that could help students develop their analytical and communication skills. The end goal is to develop the historical and critical consciousness of the students so that they will become versatile, articulate, broad- minded, morally upright and responsible citizens. This course includes mandatory topics on the Philippine Constitution, agrarian reform, and taxation.
This course is designed to equip college students from diverse academic backgrounds—including Education, Hospitality and Restaurant Management, Tourism Management, Office Administration, and Engineering—with advanced English language proficiency and crucial cross-cultural communication skills. Recognizing the globalized nature of contemporary professional environments, this subject moves beyond basic grammar and vocabulary to focus on practical, context-specific language use. Students will develop their abilities in professional writing (e.g., reports, proposals, emails, lesson plans, marketing materials), formal and informal oral presentations, active listening, and effective interpersonal communication. The curriculum integrates industry-specific vocabulary and scenarios relevant to each program, emphasizing the nuances of English communication in educational settings, international business, customer service, technical collaborations, and cross-cultural interactions. Through a blend of communicative activities, case studies, role-playing, and authentic materials, students will gain the confidence and competence necessary to excel in their chosen fields and navigate the complexities of global professional communication.
