Course Overview:

The AP Chinese Language and Culture course is designed to be comparable to fourth semester (or the equivalent) college/university courses in Mandarin Chinese. These college courses, which deepen students' immersion into the language and culture of the Chinese-speaking world, typically represent the point at which students complete approximately 250 hours of college-level classroom instruction.

The course prepares students to demonstrate their Chinese proficiency level across the three communicative modes (Interpersonal, Interpretive, and Presentational) and five goals (Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities) as outlined in the Standards for Foreign Language Learning in 21st Century. The course aims to provide students with ongoing and varied opportunities to further develop their proficiency across the full range of language skills while learning about Chinese culture and society.
