A growing number of American universities are regularly offering courses in Tagalog. The expansion of the field can be illustrated by the following facts: in the 1960s, only Hawaii and UCLA were offering regularly-listed courses in Tagalog. Today, Tagalog courses are offered every year at the University of California at Berkeley, UCLA, Cornell University, University of Michigan, University of Wisconsin (Madison), Loyola Marymount University, University of Pennsylvania, Northern Illinois University, University of Pittsburg, and San Francisco State University, all of which recently joined nationwide consortium to promote teaching Tagalog.
But as far as teaching it in school is concerned, surely this is confined to the Philippines?

The country would be the Philippines. Filipino is the national language. As much as lessons are primarily taught in English, Pilipino class in 'balarila' (grammar) and 'panitikan' (literature) are taught in Filipino language. The Filipino language has over 80 dialects.Some of them are Tagalog, Visayan, Ilokano, Cebuano,Waray,Bikolano, etc.
