REGARDING THE AP EXAMS IN THE SPRING:
Given the uncertainties of the 2020-21 school year, some students may feel unsure about taking AP Exams in May. So that students feel comfortable registering by the fall deadline, this year there will be no fees whatsoever if a student decides not to test or to cancel their exams. Every AP student should keep their options open by registering for the exam on time because there will still be a $40 fee for late orders.
AP SPANISH LANGUAGE AND CULTURE-
Course Overview-
As stated on the College Board Website:
The "AP Spanish Language and Culture course emphasizes
communication (understanding and being understood by others)
by applying interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational skills
in real-life situations. This includes vocabulary usage, language
control, communication strategies, and cultural awareness. The AP
Spanish Language and Culture course strives not to overemphasize
grammatical accuracy at the expense of communication. To best
facilitate the study of language and culture, the course is taught
almost exclusively in Spanish.
The AP Spanish Language and Culture course engages students
in an exploration of culture in both contemporary and historical
contexts. The course develops students’ awareness and appreciation
of cultural products (e.g., tools, books, music , laws, conventions,
institutions); practices (patterns of social interactions within a
culture); and perspectives (values, attitudes, and assumptions)"
