"The Advanced Placement Program in Italian: History and Analysis explores a peculiar aspect of the teaching of Italian in the United States through the Advanced Placement Program in Italian. To date, there is no in-depth analysis; this book offers one. After fifteen iterations of the AP Exam in Italian, it seemed an appropriate time to assess the situation. This book thus offers an initial evaluation of the results of the Advanced Placement Program in Italian. The first chapter deals with a historical reconstruction of the college access exams of Italian: the Achievement Test, the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), the AATI National Italian Exam (NIE), and the APP in Italian. The second and third chapters analyze the AP Italian exams from 2012 to 2022. The data are provided directly by the College Board, and the reports are prepared each year by the AP Italian Language and Culture Chief Readers. The aim is to provide some guidance for teachers, institutional bodies, and organizers. The conclusions represent a contribution to the future of this important educational language policy tool, considered fundamental for the promotion of Italian language and culture in the USA"--

"Why Study Italian" includes essays by Lidia Matticchio Bastianich, Claudio Bisogniero, Roberto Dolci, Clorinda Donato, Fred Gardaphé, Hermann W. Haller, Silvana Mangione, Vincenzo Marra, Berardo Paradiso, Eugenia Paulicelli, Natalia Quintavalle, Anthony Julian Tamburri, and Giulio Terzi di Sant'Agata. The idea for this editorial project was born out of discussions that paralleled those that were taking place around the re-implementation of the Advanced Placement Program in Italian, which the College Board had suspended after the 2010 administration of the Advanced Placement Exam in Italian. The goal of this collection is not to speak to the specifics of the Advanced Placement Program in Italian in any direct way. Instead, this compilation offers an array of different voices that address the general question, "Why study Italian," which is presented here in its somewhat ambiguous manner. The phrase, "why study Italian," may be understood as a statement or an interrogative. The underlying issue is that Italian is, today, a language very much alive, useful, and employed by many in a multitude of venues and sectors across the world.
