To provide context and content for students to develop their skills in the modes of communication, AP Japanese Language and Culture takes a thematic approach. This framework provides a clear and detailed description of the course requirements necessary for student success. The framework specifies what students must know, be able to do, and understand to qualify for college credit or placement. There are also many suggested authentic resources to support instruction throughout.

The AP Japanese Language and Culture framework is made up of six units. As always, you have the flexibility to organize the course content as you like.
