The aim of this course is to begin preparation for the Advanced Placement exam. The course will address all of the standards for foreign language learning. Students will use the language in various ways designed to reflect the tasks required for the Spanish Language AP exam. The class will use comprehensible input, as well as modern technology to achieve these goals. It is conducted in the target language to further listening and speaking skills. There is an emphasis on advanced grammar. In addition to the textbook, various literary and cultural selections will be studied.
These materials were developed in a series of projects by Wyoming teachers. The 6th-grade materials were developed with funding from the Wyoming Legislature as part of a five-year pilot program to offer Spanish-language instruction to over 9,000 children in grades K-6 throughout the state.
