This comprehensive workshop is designed to help all teachers of AP Spanish Language and Culture, whether they are new to AP or have years of experience and are looking to refresh and refine their teaching. We will cover all aspects of the course and exam, from designing and planning the course to implementing and assessing instruction. We will explore the Course and Exam Description, including the course revisions that are expected to take effect for the 2026-2027 school year, and provide guidance on how to design and pace the course. Sample classroom activities and materials will be provided, and participants will have multiple opportunities to work collaboratively and share best practices for developing student proficiency. In addition, we will create lessons and activities that the participants can take and use in their classes. 

Some specific topics that will be covered are:

• Signing up for the AP Audit

• Participating in the AP Community

• Ensuring equity and access for our students

• Exploring the new digital exam format

• Incorporating the six course themes

• Developing proficiency in the three modes of communication (interpretive, interpersonal and presentational)

• Introducing the new course project, which will require students to use authentic source materials in the target language to prepare for authentic speaking tasks on the exam

• Incorporating literature into the language course

• Developing cultural proficiency using the 3 Ps
