Advanced Placement French Literature (or AP French Literature) is an Advanced Placement course and examination offered by the College Board. This course is designed to replicate a college French literature course for high school students. Students study a variety of novels, plays, and poetry, all written in French.
Due to low numbers of students taking AP French Literature, it will be discontinued after the 2008-2009 year.[1]
