This course meets UC/CSU (E) and District graduation requirements for world language/fine arts/CTE credit. AP Spanish consists of a continuation of the mastery of advanced idioms, syntax, vocabulary and a continuation of the study of Spanish literature by native authors of plays, short stories, novelas, and non-fictional articles describing the Spanish way of life contained in the text. Much time will be devoted to the writing of compositions, group discussions in Spanish, reports on cultural aspects of the Spanish world and other opportunities to develop conversational skills in the Spanish language. Much emphasis will be placed on the development of the skill of reading contemporary Spanish at rapid rates for enjoyment and informative purposes. One major objective of this course is to prepare students for the AP exam given in May. A passing score in the AP exam will allow students to receive college credits at most universities in the United States.
