Course Overview
AP® Chinese Language and Culture provides a deeper understanding and broader application of Chinese language and culture for advanced non-heritage Chinese learners. This course focuses on applying Chinese language and cultural skills in real-world situations, and exploring the six themes of families and communities, personal and public identities, beauty and aesthetics, science and technology, contemporary life, and global challenges. Students use a wide range of engaging activities to enhance learning, including group online seminars, one-on-one conferences with the teacher, and experiential projects to meet individual needs. The book “5 Steps to a 5: AP Chinese Language and Culture" is used to enhance specific language skills. Students gain advanced language proficiency and cultural competency to compare, examine, evaluate, and solve conflicts successfully. Students are expected not only to delve deeply into the topics but also to take diagnostic AP®-style assessments and prepare for the AP® Chinese Language and Culture Exam.
