Abstract	The "Language from Within" program is a collation of Gestalt strategies based on the principles of confluent education and adapted for use in the foreign language classroom. The underlying principles of confluent education are: awareness of feelings as the source of personal meaning (subject matter is learned only when the student sees how it is related to his personal life); direct communication (the "I-You" encounter takes precedence in humanistic education and therefore many of the strategies call for the students to work with a partner and talk directly to that partner); the use of nonverbal forms of communication (the students use their bodies to express words); living in the "here and now" immediacy of the classroom (an actual situation becomes the content for language practice); developing positive and helpful relationships with each other (students utilize many opportunities to give each other positive feedback, appreciations, affirmations and warm acknowledgements); the use of guided imagery (students close their eyes and allow themselves to be led on fantasy journeys); responsibility for choosing and accepting consequences of choices (students become aware of who they are and how they choose to act); the use of projection exercises (these exercises allow students to see themselves as objects); active listening (students learn the skills of listening to each other); and the use of art, music, dramatics, and poetry as means of expression. Eight units contain sample Gestalt strategies for language teaching: (1) introductory lessons for the first months; (2) verbs in the present tense; (3) adjectives; (4) pronouns; (5) adverbs; (6) verb tenses; (7) reflexive verbs; imperative mood; (8) comparative and superlative. These strategies aim at providing energizing learning environments for self-discovery and positive growth. (CFM)
