Strong base in grammar, but conversation and activities to put the grammar to use emphasized.
Discussion classes are based on problem-solving where the student must come up with solutions in French. This is to stimulate logical thought in the target language.
In Paris, I attended training in pédogogie-ludique. This translates into fun learning which the French take very seriously. So, a lot of my activities are based on those processes. The research I did in Uni proved that when you have fun when learning, you retain more information.
For accent training, I rely more on the visual and physical placement of lips and tongue, and jaw than having the student listen and repeat because No two languages say the same letter in the same way.
