Description

In Advanced Placement Spanish Language & Culture, students will develop their Spanish language skills and learn about the cultures in Spanish-speaking parts of the world. The Advanced Placement Spanish Language & Culture course strives to promote fluency and accuracy in language use and avoid overemphasizing grammatical accuracy at the expense of communication. To best facilitate the study of language and culture, the course should be taught primarily in the target language. The proficiencies acquired through the study of languages and culture endow language learners with cognitive, analytical, and communication skills that carry over into many other areas of their academic studies. To provide context and content for students to develop their skills in the modes of communication (Interpretive, Interpersonal, and Presentational), the course takes a thematic approach. There are six required course themes: Families and Communities, Personal and Public Identities, Beauty and Aesthetics, Science and Technology, Contemporary Life, and Global Challenges. Within each of these themes, there are five to seven recommended contexts. 

Per College Board’s Appropriate Grade Level Policy – Students enrolling in AP courses with FLVS must be entering 9th grade to have AP designation affixed to their transcript at course completion. By signing up for an AP course with FLVS you are agreeing to College Board’s policy.

Students entering high school grades 9–12 have access to Advanced Placement courses that may result in earning college credit for high school coursework. These courses are used to calculate overall grade point average (GPA) and typically count extra in the calculation. These courses are also available at no charge to Florida public school students, whereas they may have a tuition cost if taken in college. (S. 1003.02, F.S.)

A passing grade in the course will be accepted for high school credit.  Postsecondary institutions determine college credit awarded, based on the AP Exam score earned.  FLVS strongly encourages students who take AP courses to sit for the course AP Exam in May.  Florida students shall be exempt from payment of any fees associated with AP Exam participation, with the exception of late test registration fees incurred by the student. 

To achieve success, students are expected to submit work in each course weekly. Students can learn at their own pace; however, “any pace” still means that students must make progress in the course every week. To measure learning, students complete self-checks, practice lessons, multiple choice questions, projects, discussion-based assessments, and discussions. Students are expected to maintain regular contact with teachers; the minimum requirement is monthly. When teachers, students, and parents work together, students are successful.
