AP Spanish Literature
Advanced Placement (AP) Spanish Literature is a high school course and examination offered by the College Board's Advanced Placement Program.
This course is based on improving skills in writing Spanish, and critical reading of advanced Spanish and Latin American literature It is typically taught as a Spanish V or VI course. The AP Spanish Literature course is designed to be comparable to a third-year College/University introduction to Hispanic literature course. Students concentrate on developing proficiency in reading and writing in preparation for the AP Spanish Literature examination. In addition, this course will emphasize mastery of linguistic competencies at a very high level of proficiency.
The course has a required reading list which draws from a variety of sources including well-known authors and poets as Federico García Lorca, Miguel de Cervantes, Tirso de Molina, Gabriel García Márquez, Alfonsina Storni, Juan Rulfo, Isabel Allende and Miguel de Unamuno, as well as a variety of lesser known short stories, poems, and novels. A complete list of the works read is regulated annually by the College Board. The course should be taught entirely in Spanish although English translations of the stories are often common resources for the students.
The exam is divided into two sections with several parts. Section I is split into two parts: Part A consists of listening with a recited poem, a recording of an interview of an author, and a presentation of a topic in relation to the course (15 questions) while Part B is reading comprehension based on a wide variety of works—even a literary criticism (50 questions). 80 minutes is given for the whole section.
