Course description and pre-requisites:
Course includes pronunciation, grammar, reading, writing, listening comprehension, and some speaking.
Native and/or bilingual speakers of French will not receive credit for FR 111, FR 112, or FR 113.
Pre-requisites: FR 111 (one quarter of college-level French) or the equivalent. Enrollment in a
complimentary French conversation course (like FR 199, taught on the OSU campus) is highly
recommended and fulfills the oral component of this online course.
**If in doubt as to your level of French, please contact the instructor.
Please note: The online course is for students who are unable to participate in the on-campus course.
Required Texts & Materials: (see following note – text and workbook online)
•
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/exams.
•
Audio equipment: Speakers and a microphone, for listening and oral practice activities
Purchasing required materials:
•
You may order the text through the OSU bookstore:(http://www.osubookstore.com/Textbooks.asp).
The textbook bundle includes the Motifs textbook and workbook, as well as a printed access card
for the iLrn Heinle Learning Center and a small English-French dictionary.
•
If you prefer having 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 do so,
go to the following site: http://books.quia.com/books. Click on “Go” for the Bookstore, and then look
up Motifs. You’ll see the iLrn Learning Center as the first choice. 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

Intended Outcomes:
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:
1. Understand and use basic sentence patterns in the present and past tenses;
2. Communicate, through directed activities, using the vocabulary and structures studied;
3. Read with comprehension elementary readings and cultural notes;
4. Write simple sentences using the vocabulary and present and past tenses;
5. Compose simple texts in French;
6. Gain increased awareness of different francophone countries and cultures.

Weekly homework: Each week, you are expected to complete the exercises assigned through iLrn/Quia.
These exercises (written and listening) allow you to practice your learning. Some are computer-graded,
and some are instructor-graded (with feedback). Homework is outlined on the syllabus and on the
checklist in Bb/Course Documents and is due each week by Sunday at 10 pm.
Oral Practice (Pratique orale): (due by Sunday at 10 pm)
Oral practice is imperative to the learning of a language. Therefore, weekly oral practice activities have
been incorporated into the course and constitute 15% of your grade. Most weeks, you will submit your
oral practice activities via iLrn, and the instructor will provide you with recorded feedback. In addition,
during the course, you will be asked to speak with the instructor and/or a classmate for some of the oral
practice activities (via iLrn Voiceboard).
Options for additional speaking practice include such things as:
• Meeting with a tutor or advanced speaker of French once a week.
• Meeting with another classmate to make it more dynamic.
• Enrollment in the 1 credit conversation class FR199.
*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 pronunciation (although hopefully, you are focusing on improving this aspect!). ☺
Compositions (Exposés écrits): (see deadlines in syllabus)
You’ll be asked to submit four short compositions (one per chapter and one related to a film selected from
the list posted on Bb). 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 within three days. You are not allowed to use online translators for your assignments.
2
Exams (Examens): Exams are closed-book (no book, notes or dictionary) and will be given via
Blackboard. There is no proctor requirement, but the instructor trusts you will comply with all of the
requirements and parameters. Once you have completed all relevant coursework, make arrangements
with the instructor to take each chapter exam (by the date indicated on your syllabus).
! !Note
about deadlines:
!
The deadlines for this course have been set to help you make regular progress throughout the term and to
allow the instructor adequate time to give timely and useful feedback. It is extremely difficult to learn a
language effectively by “cramming” your learning! Instead it’s more beneficial to engage with the material
in smaller “doses” but more frequently (for example, thirty minutes a day over four days rather than two
hours all on one day)! You are expected to submit your work by the specified deadlines in order to receive
full credit. If you have a specific circumstance which will prevent you from meeting any of the
deadlines (e.g. an illness, a family emergency, etc.), it is your responsibility to contact your
instructor as soon as possible so the two of you can work together to outline a plan for continued
progress in the course.
PLEASE NOTE: Any late work (iLrn, pratique orale, exposés écrits) must be submitted by the closing
date and time of the corresponding Module exam to receive up to 50% credit. No credit will be given after
this time.
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
You are encouraged to engage in the course evaluation process each term. The evaluation form will be
available toward the end of the term, and you will be sent instructions by Ecampus. The results are
anonymous and not tabulated until after grades are posted.
Proposed Schedule ~ Please read carefully! ☺
**Note: I have created the following schedule to help you make regular progress during the term. It’s
important not to fall behind or “cram in” your learning and assignments. All work is to be submitted on
time, allowing sufficient time for instructor feedback.
Please follow the steps below for studying and submitting work during the term:
•
Read and study the designated material in “Coursework”. First, look over new grammar and
structures presented in the book’s “green pages.” Then, read over corresponding pages in the
chapter to see the grammar and structures in context and learn additional, related vocabulary.
•
Listen to the instructor’s recordings (found in “Course Documents” on Blackboard – by
Module). Following along with the book, these recordings model pronunciation of new structures
and vocabulary and include some additional comments. They serve a bit like lectures. You’ll also
find some internet resources/links – posted by the instructor in Course Documents.
•
You may practice new structures by trying the exercises in the textbook. Then, submit online
written and comprehension activities. To access the online activites, click on “Workbook/Lab
Manual” and then choose “Activités écrites” (written activities) or “Activités de comprehension et de
prononciation” (listening activities). Note: Some of the activities are computer-graded; others are
graded by the instructor. After reviewing your submissions, the instructor will give you feedback –
via email or directly within the activity.
•
Read cultural notes (Perspectives culturelles) and listen to CDs and iLrn to complete relevant
workbook activities. Watch videos and complete accompanying activities as indicated.
•
Submit required compositions (exposés écrits) by posting to Blackboard, in the weekly
assignment folders. This is a two-part assignment as described above.
•
Complete oral practice as indicated above and on the syllabus. Oral practice activities are found
in “Textbook Assignments” (iLrn).
•
Arrange with instructor to take exams by the specified dates, upon completion of relevant work.
Please make sure you complete all of your work and receive instructor feedback before attempting
the exam – so you don’t make the same mistakes on your exam.
•
Please maintain frequent communication with your instructor. Contact your instructor with
questions or concerns, or if you’re unable to meet deadlines for a specific reason.
**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.”
