Abstract	FLES programs are generally viewed from the vertical dimension, as the beginning classes in a continuing language program. This paper treats the horizontal dimension, the interrelationship of the foreign language program with other curricula such as literature, history, and language arts. Three current trends in language arts have implications for FLES teachers: (1) a rising interest in linguistics, (2) a new emphasis on the teaching of listening as a skill, (3) the growth of programs to teach literature in depth at the elementary school level. In applying these trends to FLES, sample lessons in French are provided. First, linguistic premises are taught through the presentation of certain language universals, with examples in English and French illustrating similarities and differences. Second, listening skills are developed through lessons designed to set up phonetic contrasts between French and English and within French, in order to teach sound discrimination. And third, to encourage literary appreciation, a number of French children's stories, books, and classroom activities are suggested. Several poems and techniques for their use in class are also suggested. One short bibliography of sources for children's literature about France and another of books cited in the sample lessons are appended. (LG)
