Is AP English Language and Composition a good fit for high school students in Grades 9-12?
AP English Language and Composition is a good fit for students in grades 9-12 who are interested in rhetorical analysis and evidence-based argument. CIT offers online or in-person lessons in Apgujeong, Gangnam, Seoul, in one-to-one or small-group formats. Students make rhetorical analysis answers and argument essays and redrafts with stronger evidence and structure.
Speeches, essays, and articles written to persuade are the main texts: students analyze how they work, then use the same techniques in arguments of their own. The course's big ideas (rhetorical situation, claims and evidence, reasoning and organization, and style) are each studied in a reading unit and then a writing unit, and a final unit reviews the whole course with past exam questions. Essays are revised wherever the evidence is weak or a paragraph breaks the line of reasoning. Alongside the score, the student builds the academic evidence an application can use: how they applied a core idea, why an answer failed, and how they revised it.
