Dear linguistlist members,


I am looking for French textbooks in general linguistics and morphosyntax.
The courses I have to teach are aimed at undergraduate students.

a) Could anyone recommend textbooks in French for these two subjects ?
b) What other reading material (French or English) would you recommend
to complement the textbooks ?

Thank you for your help.

Subject:  L2 Students and Instrumental Orientation


Dear Linguistlist,

I am posing a question about instrumental motivation and its relatioship
with, during course performance, social/personal motivation , and
motivational intensity. I would like to get some advice on this
 I really need something about measuring instrumental orientation with
L2 students using certain tasks to tell if there is any relationship
between this kind of orientation and students' during-course
performance.
Thus my question is: what kind of tasks can be used for
this function? i have thought of keeping diaries , opening sentence to
direct towrds future planning and then check if students would write
something about instrumental orientations like : seeking a good job,
getting the degree, high marks ..etc.  Dornyei, Schmidt, Gardner are
the ones i need to read for. I could not find Oxford. R. I am not sure
of the name of book but it is something like ' Pathway to the New
Century'. I need to get hold of Thayer's book or article about motivation
in classroom.

I really hope that you can help me.
thanks a lot.

samira
