TitleAdvanced Filipino Abroad Program
Body
From http://www.afaprogram.org/index.htm

The Advanced Filipino Abroad (AFA) program is an intensive eight-week advanced Filipino languagetraining program held in Bulacan and Ateneo in Quezon City. It aims to fill a void in the academic community by providing 3rd year level students a one-of-a-kind opportunity to acquire the linguistic foundation necessary to engage in academic research, professional discourse, and cultural interaction with all segments of Philippine society. An important aspect of the program will be a four-week stay with Filipino families in Bulacan, a rural area. This helps immensely in enhancing cultural thrust of the Program.

This coming summer, June 11 – August 6, 2011, the program will be at Bulacan State University (June 11 – July 10, 2011). This University is in the province of Bulacan considered the center of the best variety of Tagalog spoken in the country. It is also the seat of many important Philippine historical events. The second site will be at Ateneo De Manila University (July 11 – August 6, 2011). Ateneo, like De LaSalle is one of the very few top private universities in the country.

Application deadline: Monday, February 7, 2011
