This course is designed to prepare high school students for the AP exam in May. It is a rigorous college level course equivalent to a fourth semester college course in Mandarin Chinese. Students will demonstrate proficiency in presentational, interpersonal and interpretative communication through listening, speaking, reading and writing; explore contemporary and historical Chinese cultures; study a variety of themes related to the Chinese Language and Culture as outlined by the College Board; broaden their global perspectives and compare Chinese cultures with their own environment. Students who are enrolled in a Virtual Virginia World Language course will be required to take a nationally recognized examination in their language as part of this course. Students not taking the exam will not receive the quality point (25860).
