Course overview:  The AP Spanish Language and Culture course is a rigorous course taught exclusively in Spanish [CR1] that requires students to improve their

proficiency across the three modes of communication. The course focuses on the integration of authentic resources with the goal of providing a vibrant, diverse learning experience. Students communicate using expressive, advanced vocabulary and linguistic structures as they build proficiency in all modes of communication toward the pre-advanced level. Students have the opportunity to take the AP Exam in May.  

 Organization:   Two Major Components:   1. Content Structure: Themes/Temas (6, vocabulary)   2. Primary Learning Objectives Areas (6, performance)     I. Content Structure: Themes/Temas:  

■ Global Challenges/Los desafíos mundiales ■ Science and technology/La ciencia y la tecnología ■ Contemporary Life/La vida contemporánea ■ Personal and Public Identities/Las identidades personales y públicas ■ Families and Communities/Las familias y las comunidades ■ Beauty and Aesthetics/La belleza y la estética

  II. Primary Learning Objectives:  

The AP Spanish Language and Culture Curriculum Framework presents six primary learning objectives areas within the three modes of communication described by the Standards for Foreign Language Learning in the 21st Century: Interpersonal, Interpretive, and Presentational. These six primary learning objective areas identify what students should know and be able to do across the three modes.  

  Six Primary Learning Objective Areas:  

■ Spoken Interpersonal Communication (Conversational activities) ■ Written Interpersonal Communication (Readings of an email, text message, letter, etc.) ■ Audio, Visual, and Audiovisual Interpretive Communication (Podcast, graphics, charts, YouTube, video, etc.) ■ Written and Print Interpretive Communication (Readings of an essay, article, story, play, newspaper articles, etc.) ■ Spoken Presentational Communication (Speech, formal presentation to group of any size) ■ Written Presentational Communication (Essay, persuasive essay, personal narrative, multimedia presentation, etc.)

Real-Life Language and Culture:   Within the AP Spanish course we will utilize material produced by native speakers for a native-speaking audience that reflect the linguistic and cultural diversity of native speakers. Authentic materials will allow students to develop their proficiency expectations to those of an intermediate college-level course.  

Through authentic materials students will be able to:  ● Identify the theme and purpose of the material as well as the point of view of the writer or speaker; ● Identify main ideas and some supporting details in the material; ● Demonstrate understanding of cultural products, practices, and perspectives in the material; ● Use contextual clues to deduce the meaning of unfamiliar words; ● Make inferences of implied meanings and draw conclusions; ● Connect the content of the message to existing knowledge.

 Student Evaluation:   Grading Philosophy:  The grading categories below, weighted 12% each, reflect the primary learning objectives of the course and ultimately the Advanced Placement exam components as designed by the College Board. Throughout the course, various assessments will be graded and placed in the corresponding categories. By doing so, the student and teacher can easily track the student’s progress as he or she develops their skills in a particular area. This will provide valuable information as to the strengths and weaknesses of the student’s abilities and allow for a plan for improvement. The “Grammar Structures” category, weighted 8%, will hold students accountable for the conjugating, spelling, and conceptual use of various Spanish Language constructions that ultimately will be used in the other aforementioned categories. Trimester A and B will both conclude with a holistic exam, valued 20 percent each, in which the student will use all of the skills the student has practiced at that point in the course.    Students can expect two summative assessments per unit valued at 100 points a piece stemming from one of the six primary learning objective areas (see above). Additionally students can expect four formally graded formative assessments valued at 10 points each stemming from the same summative assessment categories. These assessments are crucial to tracking student progress and receiving necessary feedback for improvement prior to higher point-valued summative assessments. .  

Assessment Categories:  ■ Spoken Interpersonal Communication - 12% ■ Written Interpersonal Communication - 12% ■ Audio, Visual, and Audiovisual Interpretive Communication - 12% ■ Written and Print Interpretive Communication - 12% ■ Spoken Presentational Communication - 12% ■ Written Presentational Communication - 12% ■ Grammar Structures - 8% ■ Midterm Exam (trimester A)/ Final Exam (trimester B) - 20%
