Bienvenue!
AP French Language and Culture is a college-level course intended for students in their fourth
year of French. At this point, students have already learned the structures necessary to communicate in
French. In AP French, students review and refine those grammatical structures while learning new
vocabulary to communicate in French on a variety of topics. AP French emphasizes all aspects of
language: listening, speaking, reading, writing and culture. Students will be able to navigate the
interpersonal, interpretive and presentational characteristics of communication, both written and
spoken. This course is designed to prepare students for the AP French Language and Culture
examination in the Spring. All students taking this course are expected to take the AP French Language
and Culture examination. This year, the exam will be on Thursday, May 12th, 2022 (morning). AP
French Language and Culture is conducted exclusively in French.

Discussion / Current Events / Journals / Homework
*Students are expected to participate in the class and will be working individually and with partners or
small groups.
Current Events:
Each semester, students will be asked to present at least one current event article
relating to French or Francophone culture. Presentations will be for a grade of 25 points, but
weekly written responses to classmates’ articles (and other classmates’ responses). Not all
weekly written responses will be graded for accuracy - some will be graded for completion.
Articles and four discussion questions in French will be due to the teacher one week before a
student presents and students should be prepared to be the expert on the article and topic. The
student leading the discussion will be in charge of guiding the conversation. The teacher will only
participate for clarification reasons. Students will email the article link and the questions to the
teacher. Students must use a visual aid for their presentations. Guidelines will be passed out in
class.
Journals:
Journals will be assigned each quarter. The number will vary from quarter to quarter. Students
are required to spend at least 5 minutes outside of class listening to or watching French or
Francophone media. Students may pick any subject, but must keep a quarterly journal and
should write their thoughts/reactions to their chosen media. For each journal, students should
write a minimum of 5 sentences.
Homework:
Students may have nightly homework to review and reinforce what is presented in class. There
will also be a good deal of work done independently in class. Students will sometimes have
independent assignments from AP French: A Guide to the French Language and Culture
Examination. Some homework will be graded for completion while other work will be based on
accuracy. All work will be checked at the beginning of each class. Students will be made aware
of all due dates. They will always be made aware of changes to due dates. Due dates will be
posted daily in the classroom and at least weekly on ProgressBook.
If a student has an excused absence, the student will be given the same number of days missed
to make up the work. Students are responsible for finding out what work has been missed.
Students should talk to their classmates about notes and assignments, and check Google
AP French 2021-2022 Page 3Classroom. Please see the teacher before or after class with questions on what has been
missed!
To receive full credit for homework assignments, please follow these guidelines:
1. All homework must be labeled with the student’s name and class period.
2. Students must correct their homework with a different color (preferably pen).
Corrections must be visible or a checkmark must be made if no corrections are
necessary.
3. Turn in assignments on the day that they are due!
-Assignments that are 1-day late will be taken for half credit
-Assignments that are 2-days late will receive a 0
*Do not hand late assignments to the teacher. Place them in the homework bin!!
Quizzes (Contrôles) / Tests (Examens)
Students will have quizzes and tests on the material that is covered in class. There will be weekly
verb quizzes and short, weekly AP vocab quizzes. On the first day of each month, there will be a
grammar test covering material that has been discussed in class. If a student misses a quiz or test, the
student needs to talk to the teacher about making it up. This should be done in a timely manner. If a
quiz or test has been scheduled and the student is absent the day before, and no new material has been
introduced, the student is still expected to take the assessment on the planned day.
Oral Presentations
Students will have at least one oral presentation each quarter. Students will be given advance
notice and know what to prepare along with teacher expectations. Students will present for the entire
class. These oral presentations are in French and may focus on a time period or author or may be an
oral literary analysis (this may be connected to a paper or project).
Students may also have mini-oral exams during the quarter. For these exams, students will have
to listen to a poem recording and then record themselves reading the same recording. This will be done
on Moodle and students will be made aware of deadlines.
Students will also be expected to participate in daily class discussions. Students will be given a
topic by the teacher and will then converse on the topic with their classmates.
Projects / Papers (Rédactions)
Students will have at least one project or one paper each quarter. The format for the projects
will vary and students will be given advance notice, time in class to work, and the teacher’s expectations
along with how the project will be graded. The project may be research-based or an analysis. From time
to time, students may also do personal or persuasive work.
AP French 2021-2022 Page 4Classroom approach
French will be used exclusively by the teacher and the students. The class will focus on the six
topical and culture themes of the AP French Language and Culture examination: Les Défis Mondiaux
(Global Challlenges), La Science et La Technologie (Scicene and Technology), La Vie Contemporaine
(Contemporary Life), La Quête de Soi (Personal and Public Identities), La Famille et La Communauté
(Families and Communities) and L’Esthétique (Beauty and Aesthetics). All skills (listening, speaking,
writing and reading) are covered during a typical week in the AP classroom. Students are encouraged to
seek additional resources that will enhance skills. Assessments will be used to gage student progress.
Students are asked to keep a list of common grammatical errors/discussions from the class. Students
will be tested on grammar and cultural and literary analysis. Students will also be asked to keep a
personal, reflective journal (that includes notes) of their thoughts and reactions to literature that is
studied in class.
Sample activities
Listening comprehension - Students are exposed to spoken French through classroom discussions
with the teacher and classmates. They are also exposed to native French speakers through the use of
sound clips, video clips, and exercises from their textbooks. Students will also watch clips of authentic
videos and online videos.
Reading comprehension - Students will improve their reading skills through some guided and
independent readings. Texts are drawn from a variety of authentic sources. Students will read short
literary texts and several novels during the year. Students will also read current event articles weekly.
Students will complete reading comprehension and analysis activities. Students will also be asked to
keep a personal, reflective journal (that includes notes) of their thoughts and reactions to all literature
that is studied in class.
Writing Skills - Classwork often includes notes and journal-type writing where students express their
thoughts and opinions. Grammar skills will be refined using the second half of the French 3, Bien Dit!
text. Students will review previously learned skills and perfect them while continuing on with their
grammar study. Students will have weekly written responses to current events and questions (provided
by a classmate) on Moodle and will also do written textual analysis based on the topics being studied.
Speaking Skills - The course will include interpersonal, interpretive and presentational speaking.
Speaking will be emphasized on a daily basis. In general, class discussions are open and non-graded to
help students perfect their language skills in a comfortable and non-threatening environment. Students
will participate in spontaneous discussions with their classmates on a variety of topics. Students will
participate in weekly current event discussions lead by a classmate along with discussions about the
literature being studied. Students will also do quarterly personal recordings based off recordings made
my native francophone speakers.
AP French 2021-2022 Page 5Culture - Francophone culture pervades all skills. The cultural aspect is brought specifically by student-
led discussion during weekly current event time. Students will also have discussions comparing their
culture with the aspect of Francophone culture that is being studied.
