AP Language & Composition

AP Lang.
  • Advanced Placement English Language and Composition is intended to provide the equivalent in content and difficulty of a college-level introductory English course. Students in this course will become skilled readers of prose written in a variety of rhetorical contexts, and in becoming skilled writers who compose for a variety of purposes. Both their writing and their reading should make students aware of the interactions among a writer’s purposes, audience expectations, and subjects, as well as the way genre conventions and the resources of language contribute to effectiveness in writing.
