With its lively, personalized interaction closely tied to relevant cultural themes and structures, Kimberly Jansma and Margaret Ann Kassen's MOTIFS: AN INTRODUCTION TO FRENCH, 5th EDITION,
has evolved into a standard-setting text for first-year French courses. MOTIFS immerses students in the world of French language and culture and encourages them to become active participants in
learning. The text's lively, up-to-date content and presentation blend seamlessly to engage the interest of contemporary college students. MOTIFS provides the structures, vocabulary,
communication strategies, and cultural background that allow students to think critically about different points of view, to share about themselves, and to learn about others.
