AP Level
This course, by definition, is taught as a college-level course. Students should have good control of language
structure. Any errors in language committed by the student would only cause minimal interference. Students are able
to converse comfortably with native speakers on familiar subjects. All communicative skills are sharpened, and
students are encouraged to take the Advanced Placement Test in the second semester of the course, but it is not a
requirement.
