The College Board: Connecting Students to College Success The College Board is a not-for-profit membership association whose mission is to connect students to college success and opportunity. Founded in 1900, the association is composed of more than 4,700 schools, colleges, universities, and other educational organizations. Each year, the College Board serves over three and a half million students and their parents, 23,000 high schools, and 3,500 colleges through major programs and services in college admissions, guidance, assessment, financial aid, enrollment, and teaching and learning. Among its bestknown programs are the SAT®, the PSAT/NMSQT®, and the Advanced Placement Program® (AP®). The College Board is committed to the principles of excellence and equity, and that commitment is embodied in all of its programs, services, activities, and concerns. Equity Policy Statement The College Board believes that all students should be prepared for and have an opportunity to participate successfully in college, and that equitable access to higher education must be a guiding principle for teachers, counselors, administrators, and policymakers. As part of this, all students should be given appropriate guidance about college admissions, and provided the full support necessary to ensure college admission and success. All students should be encouraged to accept the challenge of a rigorous academic curriculum through enrollment in college preparatory programs and AP courses. Schools should make every effort to ensure that AP and other college-level classes reflect the diversity of the student population. The College Board encourages the elimination of barriers that limit access to demanding courses for all students, particularly those from traditionally underrepresented ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic groups.

Introduction

Picture Sequences from AP French, German, and Spanish Exams

About the Pictures

The pictures in this document come from past AP language exams. Whenever possible, text in a particular language has been removed from the pictures so that they might be used by a wider group of teachers and students.

Directions and Scoring Guidelines

Since the expectations for the speaking portions of the AP Spanish, German, and French Exams are all slightly different, be sure to visit the picture sequence directions for the official, current AP Exam. These language-specific expectations—as well as student samples and scoring guidelines for AP French Language, AP German Language, and AP Spanish Language—can be found in the “Exam Information” and “Course Description” sections of each Course Home Page: http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/spanlanghttp://apcentral.collegeboard.com/frenchlanghttp://apcentral.collegeboard.com/german

How to Use This Collection of Picture Sequences

• As a Pre-AP® strategy for beginning and intermediate levels of instruction, ask students to use rich description when explaining what they see in the pictures. For beginners, use simple pictures or one image at a time.

• Fill in the (now empty) signs and banners in the pictures with text in the language you teach as a way to enrich the given contexts.

• Early practice with picture descriptions may be untimed. Later, move to a timed format as per the language being tested.

• Have students record their picture descriptions, trade recordings with a classmate, and listen to someone else’s recordings. Students can then give feedback to one another based on the AP scoring guidelines.

• Before the day of the AP Exam, be sure to simulate the same testing/recording environment that the students will experience.

• As desired, follow-up on picture sequence practice with writing practice based on the pictures.
