The curriculum for Manitoba's heritage language instruction program in Filipino outlines the curriculum's rationale and design and suggests techniques and materials for carrying out instruction. Introductory sections discuss general program goals, general and specific objectives for each language skill area (listening, speaking, reading, writing, and cultural knowledge), suggested time allotments, and oral and written evaluation methods for grades 1-6 and 7-12. Subsequent sections outline in greater detail the curricula for these grade groupings, including content objectives, skill objectives for each grade level, and topics that should be covered. A sample unit scope and sequence is provided. The upper-level curriculum contains more specific information on curriculum content. Two final sections offer suggested approaches and materials for the teaching of culture and a list of recommended texts and support materials. (MSE)
