Introduction  \n“AP Spanish Language and Culture” is a 2 semester course offered in the World Languages Department and is open to qualified 10-12 graders.  \n2. Course Description  \nThis course in the World Language Department is offered to advanced students who are motivated towards achieving fluency. In today’s global community, competence in more than one language is an essential part of communication and cultural understanding. Study of another language not only provides individuals with the ability to express thoughts and ideas for their own purposes but also provides them with access to perspectives and knowledge that are only available through the language and culture. Advanced language learning offers social, cultural, academic, and workplace benefits that will serve students throughout their lives. The proficiencies acquired through the study of languages and literature endow language learners with cognitive, analytical, and communication skills that carry over into many other areas of their academic studies, including English, Science, History, Art and Music. In these ways, this course clearly supports the TUHSD Mission Statement. Bilingual students are enabled to communicate more effectively and address the challenges of a dynamic and diverse community. This course also supports the TUHSD Strategic Priorities in that, under the Instructional Programs and Practices, students are guaranteed access to rigorous, relevant, and engaging courses. In addition, under Curriculum and Assessment, this course ensures student mastery of 21st Century Skills.  \n3. Prerequisite Skills  \nThe traditional prerequisite course required for entrance into AP Spanish Language and Culture is completion of Spanish 7-8 (honors or non-honors) with a grade of B or better. Students with an A in Spanish 5-6, as well as native or heritage speakers, may also elect to take an entrance test in spring, which includes an evaluation of their reading, listening, writing, speaking and grammar skills.  \nThe justification for these prerequisites are that students in Spanish 7-8 are exposed to high level language and are required in class to demonstrate the necessary level and type of reading, listening, writing, speaking and grammar skills; similarly, students who pass the entrance test have demonstrated sufficient comparable competency to be successful in this advanced course.  \n4. Program Goals/ Learning Outcomes  \nWhen communicating, students in the AP Spanish Language and Culture course will meet the following course goals, which correspond to the TUHSD World Language Program Goals.  \n• Demonstrate an understanding of culture(s), recognize and be aware of differences, diversity and richness in cultural practices and products among regions and speakers of the target language. (Culture)  \n• Incorporate interdisciplinary topics and reinforce their knowledge of other areas of study. (Connections)  \n• Gain insight about their own culture and language through learning and making comparisons between the cultures and languages of others and their own.(Comparisons)  \n• Use the target language in real-life settings, both within and beyond the school setting, and participate in multi-lingual communities at home and around the world in a variety of mediums and contexts. (Communities)  \n• Address a wide variety of topics that are age and stage appropriate. As students develop their ability to communicate in the target language, they are able to more fully participate in topics and tasks that increase in complexity. Students will develop increasing competence in manipulating multiple components of the language in order to comprehend and communicate successfully. (Content)  \nTo meet these program goals, students will engage in the following 3 modes of communication:  \n• Interpersonal Communication: Engage in conversations and ask and respond to questions in a variety of mediums and settings to express feelings and emo","cbCaia4xzclMLXAh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaia4xzclMLXAh","pdf",155518,"English","# Introduction\n# Course Description\n# Prerequisite Skills\n# Program Goals / Learning Outcomes\n# Learning Progressions / Proficiency Scales","[{\"question\":\"Who is eligible to take AP Spanish Language and Culture?\",\"answer\":\"Qualified 10-12 graders can enroll.
