AP Spanish Language and CultureCourse themes

The AP Spanish Language and Culture course is structured around six themes, which are also woven into Spanish 2: • • Beauty and Aesthetics• • Contemporary Life• • Families and Communities • • Global Challenges• • Personal and Public Identities• • Science and Technology

-> Themes facilitate the integration of language, content, and culture and promote the use of the language in a variety of contexts.

-> The themes may be combined, as they are interrelated.
