“Developing and Integrating Skills at Different Levels”
![Page 7: The Journey to the AP Spanish Language Exam](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081422/5681632b550346895dd3a612/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
“ As I will show, teachers can incorporate many activities and steps at
any level that will prove to be very useful to students learning Spanish. The key is to make sure we do not use these skill-building activitiessolely in the AP course but that we begin incorporating them at
level 1.
By the time students enroll in the AP course, they will have acquired a
wealth of techniques and skills that will prove extremely useful when
dealing with more complex texts.
Although the exam is at the end of the tunnel, what we do in class is
what counts in developing the students’ proficiency, and that should be
our main objective.
To begin, you need to examine your curriculum, especially your textbooks and make decisions.”

If a doctor, lawyer, or dentist had 40 people in his office at one time, all of whom had different needs, and some of whom didn't want to be there and were causing trouble, and the doctor, lawyer, or dentist, without assistance, had to treat them all with professional excellence for nine months, then he might have some conception of the classroom teacher's job. ~Donald Quinn
