AP Chinese Task Force Meeting Report and Feedback

Dear supporters of AP Chinese Language and Culture:

The AP Program and the AP Chinese Task Force recognize the importance of publicizing the recommendations made by the task force and of inviting meaningful feedback from teachers throughout the field. In an effort to allow educators the opportunity to provide this feedback to the task force, AP Central will post a synopsis of the task force discussions and recommendations after each of their three meetings. A synopsis of the first meeting is available for download as a PDF file.

In order to access the AP Chinese Task Force Meeting Report and Feedback section of the AP Chinese Language and Culture page on AP Central, please visit: http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/article/0,3045,151-165-0-37221,00.html#name2

We encourage you to review these recommendations, and email your thoughts and comments to apchinese@collegeboard.org. Due to the expected volume of responses, neither the task force nor the AP Program will be able to reply to these messages, but they will certainly give each message the careful consideration it deserves.

We look forward to your feedback.

Sincerely,
Advanced Placement Program
The College Board
