Since 2000, the UPLB CAS LITE Program has been helping UPLB international graduate and undergraduate students improve their basic English language proficiency through the English Plus Course.

The English Plus Course is a three- to four-week course that covers two areas—Pronunciation Improvement and Oral Presentation, and Conversational Fluency. It is supplemented by a two-hour daily guided interaction and a cultural exposure trip within the University of the Philippines Los Baños and the International Rice Research Institute, including a whole-day trip to the different towns in the province of Laguna.

LITE offers, on request, one-on-one or small group tutorials on the English, Filipino, Spanish, Nihongo, and French languages. Tutorials for Test Of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), International English Language Testing System (IELTS), and other English examinations are also offered, upon request.

Since 2010, the Department of Humanities of UP Mindanao has partnered with the Davao Writers Guild to provide writing workshops for young and aspiring writers from different parts of Mindanao.

Ang Talasalitaan ay regular na talakayan na isinasagawa ng SWF at nagtatampok ng iba’t ibang paksa na may kaugnayan sa wikang Filipino sa iba’t ibang disiplina, upang higit pang maisulong ang Palisi sa Wika ng Unibersidad ng Pilipinas.

Ang Salinán ay gawain ng SWF na nakatuon sa pagtataguyod ng isang masiglang programa ng pagsasalin. Naglalayon itong isulong ang paggamit ng Filipino sa iba’t ibang larang ng kaalaman. Layunin din nitong isalin ng mga babasahin sa iba’t ibang disiplina sa pamamagitan ng Aklatang Bayan.

Pinagtibay at ipinatupad sa UP noong 1989 ang isang Patakarang Pangwika na nagtatakda na Filipino ang maging pangunahing midyum ng pagtuturo. Binuo ang programang Aklatang Bayan para magsulat at maglimbag sa wikang Filipino ng mga aklat sa iba’t ibang disiplina. Layuning din nitong magbuo at maglathala ng mga teksbuk sa Filipino, tumugon sa kakulangan ng mga akademikong materyal na nasa Filipino, at makapaglathala ng makabuluhan at mahusay na mga teksbuk at mga babasahing aklat sa Filipino.

The general objective of this examination is to provide the participants a simulation of the Licensure Examination for Interior Design by the Professional Regulation Commission.

This service was first provided in the late 1990s and spurred by the dismal performance of takers in the ID Board Exam. The former dean challenged the faculty to improve the rating, hence the mock board exam.

The general objective of ID 179 is for students to acquire a clear understanding of the rigors of managing an actual interior design project, which include the programming phase to feedback and post-occupancy evaluation, marketing and project cost analysis. Furthermore, it aims to cultivate a deep appreciation for service learning through an organized project that can benefit any institution.

This workshop provides specialized journalism training to community journalists from around the country.
