 \n Course framework  Project manual  \n Sample exam questions  \nAP® French Language and Culture  \nCOURSE AND EXAM DESCRIPTION  \nEffective Fall 2026  \nAP® French Language and Culture  \nCOURSE AND EXAM DESCRIPTION  \nEffective  \nFall 2026  \nAP COURSE AND EXAM DESCRIPTIONS ARE UPDATED PERIODICALLY Please visit AP Central to determine whether a more recent course and exam description is available.  \nWhat AP® Stands For  \nThousands of Advanced Placement teachers have contributed to the principles articulated here. These principles are not new; they are, rather, a reminder of how AP already works in classrooms nationwide. The following principles are designed to ensure that teachers’ expertise is respected, required course content is understood, and that students are academically challenged and free to make up their own minds.  \n1. AP stands for clarity and transparency. Teachers and students deserve clear expectations. The Advanced Placement Program makes public its course frameworks and sample assessments. Confusion about what is permitted in the classroom disrupts teachers and students as they navigate demanding work.  \n2. AP is an unflinching encounter with evidence. AP courses enable students to develop as independent thinkers and to draw their own conclusions. Evidence and the scientific method are the starting place for conversations in AP courses.  \n3. AP opposes censorship. AP is animated by a deep respect for the intellectual freedom of teachers and students alike. If a school bans required topics from their AP courses, the AP Program removestheAP designation from that course and its inclusion in the AP Course Ledger provided to colleges and universities. For example, the concepts of evolution are at the heart of college biology, and a course that neglects such concepts does not pass muster asAP Biology.  \n4. AP opposes indoctrination. AP students are expected to analyze different perspectives from their own, and no points on anAP Exam are awarded for agreement with any specific viewpoint. AP students are not required to feel certain ways about themselves orthe course content. AP courses instead develop students’ abilities to assess the credibility of sources, draw conclusions, and makeup their own minds.  \nAs the AP English Literature course description states: “AP students are not expected or asked to subscribe to any one specific set of cultural or political values, but are expected to have the maturity to analyze perspectives different from their own and to question the meaning, purpose, or effect of such content within the literary work as a whole.”  \n5. AP courses foster an open-minded approach to the histories and cultures of different peoples. The study of different nationalities, cultures, religions, races, and ethnicities is essential within a variety of academic disciplines. AP courses ground such studies in primary sources so that students can evaluate experiences and evidence for themselves.  \n6. Every AP student who engages with evidence is listened to and respected.  \nStudents are encouraged to evaluate arguments but not one another. AP classrooms respect diversity in backgrounds, experiences, and viewpoints. The perspectives and contributions of the full range of AP students are sought and considered. Respectful debate of ideas is cultivated and protected; personal attacks have no place in AP.  \n7. AP is a choice for parents and students. Parents and students freely choose to enroll in AP courses. Course descriptions are available online for parents and students to inform their choice. Parents do not define which college-level topics are suitable within AP courses; AP course and exam materials are crafted by committees of professors and other expert educators in each field. AP courses and exams are then further validated by the American Council on Education and studies that confirm the use of AP scores for college credits by thousands of colleges and universities nationwide.  \nThe AP Program encourag","cbCaibZZJjfPb0Ez","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibZZJjfPb0Ez","pdf",13010406,167,"English","# About AP\n# About the AP French Language and Culture Course\n# Course Framework\n## Introduction\n## Course Framework Components\n## Course Skills\n## Unit Guides\n## Course Skills and Learning Objectives\n## Using the Unit Guides\n# Unit 1: Families and Communities\n# Unit 2: Language and Culture\n# Unit 3: Art and Creativity\n# Unit 4: Science and Technology\n# Unit 5: Contemporary Life\n# Unit 6: Global Contexts\n# Exam Information\n## Exam Overview\n## How Student Learning Is Assessed on the AP Exam\n## Task Verbs Used in Free-Response Questions\n## Sample Exam Questions\n# Scoring Guidelines\n## Argumentative Essay\n# Appendix\n## Project Manual","[{\"question\":\"When does this AP French Language and Culture course and exam description take effect?\",\"answer\":\"It takes effect in Fall 2026.\"},{\"question\":\"What principles guide AP course design in this document?\",\"answer\":\"The document emphasizes clarity and transparency, evidence-based inquiry, opposition to censorship and indoctrination, respect for diverse perspectives, and support for independent student thinking.\"},{\"question\":\"What types of exam materials and assessment details are included?\",\"answer\":\"It includes an exam overview, how student learning is assessed, task verbs used in free-response questions, sample exam questions, and scoring guidelines such as for an argumentative essay.\"}]","AP French Language and Culture Course and Exam Description - Effective Fall 2026 | PDF",1790546665,421]
