Session II: French Language and Culture 

This course is designed to give inexperienced and experienced teachers the tools necessary to develop and conduct an Advanced Placement French Language and Culture course in a public or private school setting. The workshop will provide a better understanding of the scope and sequence of this course as designed by the College Board committee. We will analyze proper textbook and supplementary materials, evaluate course and AP examination requirements, and share curriculum modules that enrich the AP French program. The workshop will combine PowerPoint presentations with group discussions. Participants will do a small research project that they will share with the group. The consultant will share with all participants relevant material from the 2017 AP grading.
