Communicate Globally

Recommended Courses and Their Value

Students’ language strengths—whether they come from home, community, or years of study—can become advanced academic opportunities in your course catalog. AP world language courses give students a chance to demonstrate advanced language proficiency and pursue the opportunity to earn college credit, advanced placement, or both.

In these AP courses, students can use language in real-world contexts, preparing them for college, careers, and civic life. They help students develop communication, interpretation, and cultural analysis skills that carry across disciplines and into future study and work.

Because each course stands on its own, schools can start with one and add others over time.
