Woodinville High School – Wlj500a/B \- AP Japanese

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

The AP curriculum focuses on interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational skills about global topics in French, German, Japanese, or Spanish. Students will be prepared for success on the AP exam in May and overall fluency in the respective language. Each class is conducted entirely in French, German, Japanese, or Spanish. The five Cs of language learning (Communication, Connections, Cultures, Comparisons, and Communities) will be practiced regularly as students become familiar with the six themes of the AP Language and Culture course.  The themes are as follows: Global Challenges, Science and Technology, Contemporary Life, Personal and Public Identities, Families and Communities, and Beauty and Aesthetics. Students’ language skills will be ameliorated by writing regularly in a variety of formats, participating in class and small group discussions, listening to French, German, Japanese, or Spanish-language music and news stories and reading texts from the French, German, Japanese, or Spanish-speaking world.
