News item: AP Language, Computer Courses Cut - washingtonpost.com

[Masha Lekic]

SEELANGers, 

The recent decision by College Board does not affect the Prototype AP
Russian administration.  Thank for the inquiry and thanks to SEELANGers for
support of entering freshmen students presenting AP Russian score reports as
part of their university matriculations.  Interest in the test has continued
to rise, which we hope reflects increasing interest in Russian more
generally among US students.

Best,

Masha Lekic (ACTR and University of Maryland)
