If in doubt of your level, please contact the instructor. Concurrent participation in a conversation group or course (such as FR 299, which is taught 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) NOTE: 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! 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 with a loose-leaf workbook, and audio script (with pages 3-hole punched to fit in a binder), 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). This course is offered through Oregon State University Extended Campus. For more information, contact: Web: ecampus.oregonstate.edu Email: [email protected] Tel: 800-667-1465 Course Outcomes: At the end of the second-year sequence, students will: have developed more advanced writing, speaking, listening skills; have learned and be able to use with more accuracy complex structures and tenses (personal, demonstrative, possessive, relative pronouns, the subjunctive, the conditional and compound tenses); demonstrate more ease in using French; have enhanced knowledge of French and francophone cultures. Notation: Examens (3) Le petit Nicolas Manuel / Texte Pratique orale Expressions écrites (3) 30 % 10 % 35 % 10 % 15 % 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 individually via iLrn. The instructor will provide you with recorded feedback. You may also use the Voiceboard and do the activities with a classmate if your schedules coincide. 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 computergraded, 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 short compositions (one per chapter and one related to a film). 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 the grade center with suggestions for corrections. To receive full credit, you are then expected to resubmit a corrected version. 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 with his family and friends – seen through his eyes! Comprehension questions are assigned for each chapter. Before reading a chapter, look over the comprehension questions found in Bb/Assignments as they may guide you to the key points. There are also vocabulary lists to help you as you read. 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. This course is offered through Oregon State University Extended Campus. For more information, contact: Web: ecampus.oregonstate.edu Email: [email protected] Tel: 800-667-1465 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 Course Documents on 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 This course is offered through Oregon State University Extended Campus. For more information, contact: Web: ecampus.oregonstate.edu Email: [email protected] Tel: 800-667-1465 corresponding exercises as indicated in the syllabus. 5.

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.
