AP French: 

AP French continues to deepen the student’s knowledge of the French language and the Francophone culture. The student learns a more complex grammar in order to speak, read and write French proficiently. Preparation for the AP examination is a major component of the course. 

Popular and classic films are used to familiarize the student with a variety of spoken French. French is expected to be the language used in the classroom. The student is encouraged to be an active participant in hosting and visiting our sister school, Lycee Charles De Gaulle, in Dijon, France. This school-to-school exchange takes place every other year for 2 weeks in April and 2 weeks in June. 

(A variety of texts are used: ALLEZ, VIENS!, VAGABONDAGES LITTERAIRES, C’EST CA and an Amsco Workbook for AP.)  At times this course may be a tutorial or may be combined with French III or French V.
