Introduction An AP German Language course is intended to be roughly equivalent both in content and in difficulty to an advanced-level college German language course. The exam presupposes extensive language development (three to four years) leading to an additional year of advanced course work. Other alterna- tives exist, however: * AP students may receive special training within or outside the regular third- or fourth-year secondary school German course; * qualified students may be permitted to bypass part of the four-year sequence, thus reaching the fourth-year level without four years of German. The goal of the AP German Language course is the development of the following competencies: * having a strong command of vocabulary and structure; * understanding spoken German in various conversational situations; * reading newspaper/magazine articles, contemporary fiction, and non- technical writings; * fluently and accurately expressing ideas orally and in writing. The course seeks to build language skills that are useful in themselves and that can be applied to a variety of activites and disciplines rather than being limited to any specific body of subject matter. This will prepare students for the AP exam which is not based on any particular topic but instead attempts to evaluate level of performance in the use of the language, both in understanding written and spoken German and in responding with ease in correct and idiomatic German. Please visit the College Board website for more information on the AP German exam.
