Title: Editorial: Back to Latin
Body: From http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/07/opinion/07iht-edmotyl.html?_r=2&emc=tnt&tntemail0=y Back to Latin By ALEXANDER MOTYL July 6, 2009 I’ve just decided to do something without any evident utilitarian value whatsoever. I’ve decided to read Vergil’s Aeneid in the original Latin — a language that once, as a junior in high school, I could sight-read. What better way to assert my independence in a flat, crowded and hot world that suffers from clashes of civilizations, the end of history and other tired metaphors masquerading as big ideas? Vergil understood that metaphors and metonyms and other literary devices help tell a good story — they enrich our sympathetic understanding of human experience without substituting for sound analysis. And poor Aeneas knew full well that life was a series of both contingent and fated events that could not be foretold or explained with any degree of accuracy.

Title: Changes of Meaning in Spanish Depending on Use of 'Ser' or 'Estar'
Body: From http://spanish.about.com Although ser and estar both mean "to be," to the native Spanish speaker they don't mean the same thing. As a result, some adjectives can change in meaning (for the ear attuned to English) depending on whether they're used with ser or estar.

Title: Teaching Literature - Introduction
Body: From http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk The use of literature in the ELT classroom is enjoying a revival for a number of reasons. Having formed part of traditional language teaching approaches, literature became less popular when language teaching and learning started to focus on the functional use of language. However, the role of literature in the ELT classroom has been re-assessed and many now view literary texts as providing rich linguistic input, effective stimuli for students to express themselves in other languages and a potential source of learner motivation. On this site you can find a range of literary texts and supporting classroom materials, on the BritLit pages.
