Abstract:

The discourse on the study of Filipino has crossed into the global space that is being taught in different parts of the world. In 2011, Filipino for Beginners (FFB) began to be taught with the aim of teaching basic Filipino language learning to Japanese college students at Kagoshima University (K.U), Japan. The purpose of the study was to write the narrative of teaching Japanese students the Filipino language in K.U. towards the proposed development of its teaching. Using Fairclough’s Textual Analysis, the reference book, presentation used by the teacher in class, the middle and final exams were analyzed along with the researcher’s observation in the FFB class itself. From the data obtained, it appears that there are factors that need to be developed for the further development of teaching Filipino language students. One is to develop their ability to speak and communicate in Filipino and to deepen their learning in the rooted culture of the language being studied. On the whole, the teaching of Japanese students in the Filipino language will be further developed if the cultures of the two countries are balanced in the context of learning. Therefore, the identity and culture of the Japanese is preserved while learning a new language and culture that includes the Filipino language.
