Title: International Flag of Language Design Contest Winner
Body: From http://www.languagemuseum.org/flag/index.html The National Museum of Language is proud to announce the creation of what it believes to be the world's first International Flag of Language. The judges liked the idea of a tree to represent languages. The three shades of green leaves represent living languages, dead languages, and future languages respectively on a brown two-tone tree trunk. The stylish curves flowing away from the tree represent the spread of knowledge gained from languages. The original flag will be displayed at the Museum and hopefully at other sites as well. Read the full announcement and see what the flag looks like at http://www.languagemuseum.org/flag/index.html

Title: Book: Approaches to Teaching Teresa of Ávila and the Spanish Mystics
Body: From http://www.mla.org/store/CID39/PID373 Approaches to Teaching Teresa of Ávila and the Spanish Mystics Editor: Alison Weber Publisher: Modern Language Association The writings of Teresa of Ávila and the Spanish mystics, most notably John of the Cross and Luis de León, aroused passionate responses when they were composed. Though today's students realize that religious beliefs have wide-ranging consequences, they are presented with particular challenges in studying the Spanish mystics because of their unfamiliarity with the linguistic, social, and religious history of early modern Spain. This volume is designed to help instructors elicit students' curiosity, sympathy, and appreciation for writings that can at first seem alien or confusing.
