The course
A school's course in AP ... Language, emphasizing
the use of language for active communication, has
for its objectives the development of:
A. the ability to understand the... spoken
language in various contexts;
B. the ... language vocabulary sufficiently
ample for reading newspaper and magazine articles,
literary texts, and other nontechnical writings
without dependence on a dictionary; and
C. the ability to express oneself coherently,
resourcefully, in the spoken ... language.
Course content can reflect intellectual interests
shared by the students and teacher (the arts,

might well include audio and video recordings, films,
newspapers, and magazines.
The course seeks to develop language skills
(reading, writing, listening, and speaking) that can
be used in various activities and disciplines rather
than to cover any specific body of subject mater.
Extensive training in the organization and writing of
compositions should also be emphasized.
For detailed information and practical

course, it is strongly recommended that teachers

The Examination The AP ... Language Examination is approximately two and one-half hours in length. It is not based on any particular subject matter but instead attempts to evaluate level of performance in the use of the language, both in understanding written and in the spoken ... language and in responding in correct and idiomatic ... language. Listening and reading are based in the multiple-choice section; writing and speaking are tested in the free-response section. The portion of the examination devoted in each skill counts for one-fourth of the final grade. It is possible that students will have difficulty taking the speaking part of the examination if they are not familiar with operating the recording equipment. Teachers are therefore encouraged to arrange a trial run of the examination equipment and procedures with the students in advance of the actual administration. Note that the student response tapes are offered in cassette form only. With the exception of directions, ... (language) is used exclusively both in the test materials and in the student responses. Use of dictionaries or other reference works during the examination is not permitted. Section 1. Multiple Choice Listening Listening skills are tested in two ways on the examination. First, candidates are asked to listen to a series of brief exchanges between two speakers. The exchanges are spoken twice, after which students choose the most appropriate rejoinder from the four choices printed in their test booklets. In the second portion of the listening part of the examination, students listen to recorded dialogues or brief monologues and then, after each, they are asked questions on the tape about what they have just heard. The questions following the dialogues are spoken twice. Reading This part of the examination comprises several prose passages followed by multiple-choice questions on their content. Some questions testing knowledge and understand of grammatical structure may be among the questions following each reading passage. Writing On this part of the examination, students are asked to demonstrate knowledge of the ... (language) structure by filing in omitted words or verb forms within paragraphs. They are also asked to show their ability to express ideas in written ... (language) by writing a 40 minute essay on a given topic. The essays are evaluated for appropriateness and range of vocabulary, grammatical accuracy, idiomatic usage, organization, and style. Speaking On the speaking part of the examination, students tape-record their responses to questions based on a series of pictures or other visual stimulus. The questions are printed in the test booklet and are also heard on a master tape. Students may be asked to tell the story presented in the pictures, to comment on the content of the pictures, or to discuss a topic suggested by one of the pictures. Students are given at least 30 seconds to respond to each of the questions. The student tapes are later scored by school and college ... teachers serving as examination readers. ... Literature The Advanced Placement Program in ... Literature is designed to introduce students who have advanced language skills to the formal study of a representative body of literary texts in ... (language). The course A school's course of AP ... (language) Literature has the following objectives: A. proficiency in the fundamental language skills that enable the student to 1. read and understand prose and verse of moderate difficulty and mature content; 2. formulate and express critical opinions and judgments in correct oral and written ...(language); B. the ability to read and analyze critically and to discuss perceptively representative works of ... (language) literature. The program is not to be construed as a formal survey of literary history but rather as an introduction to representative works of prose, poetry, and drama from different periods. Students should, however, be aware of the cultural context of the works read. They should also acquire the basic concepts and terminology of textual analysis. By learning to identify and interpret the various elements that enter into the composition of a literary text and to perceive their relationships, students acquire a fuller understanding and appreciation of the art and significance of literature. For detailed information and practical suggestions on teaching an AP ... (language) Literature course, it is strongly recommended that teachers consult the Teacher's Guide to "AP "Courses in ...
