Our online AP® Spanish Language and Culture course is an advanced language course in which students acquire proficiencies that expand their cognitive, analytical, and communicative skills. The AP® Spanish Language and Culture course prepares students for the College Board’s AP® Spanish Language and Culture exam. It uses as its foundation the three modes of communication (Interpersonal, Interpretive, and Presentational) as defined in the Standards for Foreign Language Learning in the 21st Century. The course is designed as an immersion experience and is conducted almost exclusively in Spanish. In addition, all student work, practices, projects, participation, and assessments are in Spanish. The course is based on the six themes required by the College Board, namely 1. Global challenges 2. Science and technology 3. Contemporary life 4. Personal and public identities 5. Families and communities 6. Beauty and aesthetics The course teaches language structures in context and focuses on the development of fluency to convey meaning. Students explore culture in both contemporary and historical contexts to develop an awareness and appreciation of cultural products, practices, and perspectives. In addition, students participate in simulated interpersonal conversations in preparation for the exam. The course also makes great use of authentic sources for students to develop their listening, reading, speaking, and writing skills in Spanish.
