Both their writing and their reading should make students aware of the interactions among a writer’s purposes, audience expectations, and subjects as well as the way generic conventions and their sources of language contribute to effectiveness in writing.  \nGoals  \nThe goals of an AP English Language and Composition course are diverse because the college composition course is one of the most varied in the curriculum. The college course provides students with opportunities to write about a variety of subjects from a variety of disciplines and to demonstrate an awareness of audience and purpose. But the overarching objective in most first-year writing courses is to enable students to write effectively and confidently in their college courses across the curriculum and in their professional and personal lives. Therefore, most composition courses emphasize the expository, analytical, and argumentative writing that forms the basis of academic and professional communication, as well as the personal and reflective writing that fostersthe development of writing facility in any context. In addition, most composition courses teach students that the expository, analytical, and argumentative writing they must do in college is based on reading as well as on personal experience and observation.  \nComposition courses, therefore, teach students to:  \n• Read primary and secondary sources carefully,  \n• Synthesize material from these texts in their own compositions, and  \n• Cite sources using conventions recommended by professional organizations such as the Modern Language Association (MLA), the University of Chicago Press (The Chicago Manual of Style), the American Psychological Association (APA), and the Council of Biology Editors (CBE) .  \nAs in the college course, the purpose of the AP English Language and Composition course is to enable students to:  \n• Read complex texts with understanding and  \n• Write prose of sufficient richness and complexity to communicate effectively with mature readers.  \nAn AP English Language and Composition course should help students move beyond such programmatic responses as the five-paragraph essay that provides an introduction with a thesis and three reasons, body paragraphs on each reason, and a conclusion that restates the thesis. Although such formulaic approaches may provide minimal organization, they often encourage unnecessary repetition and fail to engage the reader.  \nStudents should be encouraged to place their emphasis on content, purpose, and audience and to allow this focus to guide the organization of their writing.  \nWriting  \nCollege writing programs recognize that skill in writing proceeds from students’ awareness of their own composing processes: the way they explore ideas, reconsider strategies, and revise their work. This experience of the process of composing is the essence of the first-year writing course, and AP English Language and Composition should emphasize this process, asking students to write essays that proceed through several stages or drafts, with revision aided by teacher and peers. Although these extended, revised essays cannot be part of the AP Exam, the experience of writing them will help make students more self-aware and flexible writers and thus may help their performance on the exam itself. The various AP English Language Released Exams and AP Central ([apcentral.collegeboard.com](apcentral.collegeboard.com)) provide sample student essay responses to exercises that can be useful as timed writing assignments and as the basis for extended writing projects.  \nStudents write in both informal and formal contexts to gain authorit","cbCaiqUDeO6Znn7H","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqUDeO6Znn7H","pdf",124075,"English","# Introduction\n# Goals\n# Composition and Writing Process\n# Research and Synthesis","[{\"question\":\"What skills does AP English Language and Composition develop for students?\",\"answer\":\"Students develop skilled reading of prose in varied rhetorical contexts and skilled writing for a range of purposes.
