I like the topics; they are high frequency and interesting for most students. The grammar topics are well sequenced and coordinate well with the themes overall. The new Reflechissez et considerez sections are a welcome addition! Students are better able to grasp the material (grammar structure) when they can see patterns. I really like the green pages, and I get very good feedback from my students. They find them clear, concise, not overloaded with too much detail or information. The examples that show how the structures are used are generally good. Most outstanding [is the] emphasis on communicative aspect of language, with useful accompanying in-class activities. Also, very accessible, well-organized easy to find and follow grammar structures!, I'm pleased with the R'f'chissez et consid'rez sections because they invite the students to reflect on the use of the vocabulary/ grammar learned in context. They also allow students to engage in a comparative study of how the French do/say things versus how they do/say them in their own cultural context. I also particularly liked the introduction of updated vocabulary. In my opinion, the exercises and activities are the strongest point of Motifs. The authors have done a good job creating exercises and activities that facilitate the understanding and application of vocabulary and grammar, and that challenge students' creativity. There is a good balance of listening and speaking activities, and I like the fact that students are consistently reminded what it is they need to pay special attention to, while doing these activities., I'm pleased with the Réféchissez et considérez sections because they invite the students to reflect on the use of the vocabulary/ grammar learned in context.

I also like the separation of grammar and the rest. I know the students liked it too because, for them, the green pages are references. And students don't like to mess up with a table of content so they go directly to the green [pages]. Motifs is really unique because of that separation between the grammar and the other sections.

  • Nice Model

    This is an amazing French text book, which threads certain characters throughout the chapters. The continuance of characters creates a type of relationship and mentality unmatched by previous foreign language text books I've seen.
