Since its first edition, The Language of Composition was designed specifically for the AP® English Language course. Its unique structure of skill-building opening chapters combined with an engaging thematic anthology provides the flexibility you need to plan your year and differentiate based on your students’ needs. In this edition, the book you know and love now fully aligns to the new AP® Course and Exam Description.

In this exceptionally valuable resource, the authors provide helpful marginal annotations on each page to support your teaching of students at all levels—called-out passages for close reading, helpful teaching ideas, tips for avoiding common pitfalls, and more.

Our ExamView Test Bank takes students from understanding to close rhetorical, literary, and stylistic analysis. Our authors and editors analyzed hundreds of items from national assessments and AP exams to target key skills. The ExamView Test Generator lets teachers quickly create paper, Internet, and LAN-based tests. Tests can be created in minutes, and the platform is fully customizable, allowing teachers to enter their own questions, edit existing questions, set time limits, incorporate multimedia, and scramble answers and change the order of questions to prevent plagiarism. Detailed results reports feed into a gradebook.
