Advanced Placement French Language

AP French Language is a college-level language course designed to prepare students to take the AP test towards the end of the year.

 

The rigorous course is designed for students who are going to college after high school or who are interested in advanced study and fluency in the language. Students will build a college-level vocabulary around themes including the families and communities, personal and public identities, beauty and aesthetics, Science and technology, global challenges and contemporary life. Students will move towards mastery of all of the relevant grammatical forms in the language. They will be expected to conduct all conversations in French and should expect to receive all instruction in the target language. Students will read academic, college-level texts and be able to respond both verbally and in writing with thoughtful, grammatically sound, and appropriate responses.

 

Emphasis is placed on academic writing and literary analysis. Students are expected to prepare for the Advanced Placement Test administered by the College Board whether or not they take the actual test.
