Just as importantly, we will highlight what remains at the CORE: skill building across all modes; exploration of themes and contexts, with some shifts and adjustments; and sustained engagement with authentic texts from across the target-language-speaking world. Throughout, culture and perspective will remain central. Participants will leave ready to move forward with confidence as they guide students toward greater communicative and cultural proficiency and prepare them for both familiar and new exam tasks.</p> <p>The session will include a 40-minute presentation, followed by 15–20 minutes forinteraction and questions.</p> <p>Not an AP teacher?
