Course Description\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

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 and provide guidance on how to design and pace the course. We will also cover the six themes of the course, the three modes of communication (interpretive, interpersonal and presentational), and the role of culture. We will explore sources for authentic materials, and place a special focus on AP Classroom and its many resources that can enhance our teaching. 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 develop thematic units that the participants can take and use in their classes.<\/div>\n
