Harvard is set to offer Tagalog Language Course for the first time in the institution’s history, student publication The Harvard Crimson announced on Monday, March 27. | ManilaBulletin
In a statement, Crimson said the Department of South Asian Studies will hire three preceptors to teach Tagalog, Bahasa Indonesian, and Thai, for course offerings starting the 2023-24 academic year.
Executive Director Elizabeth K. Liao said the Harvard University Asia Center secured financial support for the positions through fundraising efforts.“We’re very excited and hopeful that these positions will be a game-changer in terms of the Asia Center’s long-term mission to build Southeast Asian studies at Harvard, as well as the university’s engagement with the region,” Liao wrote in an email to the publication.
“What I’m hoping is that if we can demonstrate that there’s demand for these languages and students show up and are excited about it, then hopefully we can also use this to convince the administration to further support Southeast Asian studies generally and language instruction in particular,” Robson said.
