Prerequisites:
To enroll in this course, students must have completed one year and one term of college-level
French (through FR 211) or the equivalent thereof. If in doubt of your level, please contact the
instructor. Concurrent enrollment in a complimentary conversation course (like FR 299 on the OSU
campus) is highly recommended.
Required text and materials:
 Text: Motifs. An Introduction to French. Fifth edition. Kimberly Jansma & Margaret Ann
Kassen, Harcourt College Publishers.
 iLrn Heinle Learning Center companion website for online exercises (contains other helpful
resources too!) *Even if you purchase a used textbook, you’ll need the Learning Center to
complete your homework.
 Audio equipment: Headphones/speakers and a microphone, for listening and oral practice
activities
 Les vacances du petit Nicolas, Sempé-Goscinny (Junior Folio/French version)
For textbook accuracy, please check the textbook list at the OSU Bookstore
website (http://www.osubeaverstore.com/). Syllabi may not have the most up to date textbook
information!
NOTE:
Purchasing required materials:
 You may order the text through the OSU bookstore:
(http://www.osubookstore.com/Textbooks.asp). The textbook bundle includes a hard cover
text as well as a printed access card for the iLrn Heinle Learning Center (with an access
code).

If you prefer having all of your resources online (including electronic copies of the text and
workbook), you have the possibility of solely purchasing access to the iLrn Heinle Learning
Center. To purchase access for the 5th edition, go to the following site:
http://www.cengagebrain.com/isbn/1-4390-8166-2?cid=rdl.
Note: The online book can be a bit frustrating to use at times, as you have to “flip” back and
forth between pages, but printing from it is easy (comments from a previous student).

Oral Practice (Pratique orale):
Oral practice is imperative to the learning of a language. Therefore, weekly oral practice activities
have been incorporated into the course and will constitute 10% of your final grade. You will record
and submit your answers via iLrn. The instructor will provide you with recorded feedback. You are
encouraged to try out the Voiceboard and try doing the activities with a classmate if possible.
Other options for completing your oral practice include:
1) Enrollment in a complimentary conversation class offered locally.
2) Meeting with a tutor once a week. Seek out free tutoring opportunities on university campuses.
*Note: Speaking a new language can be intimidating, but don’t let this scare you away! The idea is
for you try out what you’re learning. You will be graded on your effort and the completion of the
assigned activities rather than your accent and pronunciation (although hopefully, you are focusing
on improving these aspects!). 
Weekly homework: Each week, you are expected to complete the exercises assigned through
iLrn/Quia. These exercises (written/listening) allow you to practice your learning. Some are
computer-graded, and some are graded by the instructor (with feedback). Homework is outlined on
the syllabus.
Compositions (Expressions écrites):
You’ll be asked to submit three compositions of approximately 15-20 sentences each. The subject
for each composition is outlined on your syllabus. Compositions should be double-spaced and in a
Word document. Please include your name at the top of the page. Post each composition in the
“Assignments” folder on Blackboard. The instructor will return your composition to you via email with
suggestions for corrections. To receive full credit, you are then expected to resubmit a corrected
version.
Examens: Exams will be given via Blackboard. There is no proctor requirement, but the instructor
trusts you do your own work. Once you have completed all relevant coursework, make arrangements
with the instructor to take each chapter exam (by the date indicated on your syllabus). Do not
attempt an exam without having completed all chapter work.
Plagiarism
You are expected to submit your own work in all your assignments, postings to the discussion board,
and other communications, and to clearly give credit to the work of others when you use it.

Academic dishonesty will result in a grade of “F.” Link to Statement of Expectations for Student
Conduct: http://oregonstate.edu/admin/stucon/achon.htm.
Students with Disabilities
Accommodations are collaborative efforts between students, faculty and Disability and Access
Services (DAS). Students with accommodations approved through DAS are responsible for
contacting the faculty member in charge of the course prior to or during the first week of the term to
discuss accommodations. Students who believe they are eligible for accommodations but who have
not yet obtained approval through SSD should contact DAS immediately at 541-737-4098.
Course evaluation
We encourage you to engage in the online course evaluation process each term. The evaluation
form will be available toward the end of each term, and you will be sent instructions by Ecampus.
The results on the form are anonymous and are not tabulated until after grades are posted.
Clarification of directions used on the syllabus and suggested work plan follow. PLEASE READ
CAREFULLY. Do not attempt exams before having completed all work for the chapter. If you have
any questions/difficulties, please contact the instructor. She will respond quickly.
Key:
TB = Textbook
Bb = Blackboard
à lire = to read
à écouter = to listen to
devoirs = homework
Suggested work plan:
 On the following pages, you will find a recommended break-down of coursework and
corresponding assignments. You may establish your own “rhythm,” as long as you adhere to
the established dates for the expressions écrites and exams.
1. Study the vocabulary at the end of the chapter in order to associate yourself with words and
expressions you will encounter when you study the chapter.
2. Read and study the Structures (green pages, found at the back of each chapter) and
corresponding vocabulary, as outlined in the “Coursework” section of the syllabus. The grammar is
explained and practiced in the green pages. The answers to the exercises are at the back of the text.
Please self correct your work.
3. Listen to the instructor’s recordings (found in Blackboard). Following along with the book,
these recordings model pronunciation of new structures and vocabulary and include additional
comments. They serve a bit like lectures.
4. Read and listen to all Perspectives culturelles, Lectures and Voix en direct and complete
corresponding exercises as indicated in the syllabus.
5. Complete oral practice activities (via iLrn – in Textbook Assignments section).
6. Do your workbook exercises on iLrn, both written activities and comprehension (Activités
écrites et Activités de Compréhension et de Prononciation). It is suggested that you complete the
exercises in the order they appear on the syllabus.
**To find instructor feedback in iLrn: 1) Log on to iLrn. 2) Instead of clicking on “Open Book” click on
“My Results.” 3) Select the appropriate Module. 4) Once in the Module, you should see a small
notebook next to any exercise with instructor feedback. 5) Click on the exercise to open, then scroll
through to see “instructor feedback.”

7. Complete and submit your compositions as indicated above.
8. Review chapter completely, then do the chapter examen. Do not attempt this exam until you
have completed all the work in the chapter. An exam study guide for each chapter will be posted in
Blackboard. Please read over the worksheet before taking the exam.
Reading Les vacances du petit Nicolas:
This term, you will read four chapters of Les vacances du petit Nicolas. The mischievous Nicolas has
been likened to Calvin from the comic strip Calvin & Hobbs, and each chapter describes his
adventures – seen through his eyes! Comprehension questions are assigned for each chapter.
Before reading a chapter, it’s recommended that you read the comprehension questions as they may
guide you to the key points. Also use the vocabulary sheets in Blackboard. Type your answers to the
comprehension questions into the Word document provided and submit via Bb/Assignments by the
specified deadline. Please email the instructor with any questions that come up as you read.
