For over three hundred years, the Virgin Mary of Guadalupe in her
Mexican invocation has been celebrated in New Mexico. Our Lady of
Guadalupe, the famous image of Mary in a body halo, has transcended
the bounds of religion and institution to become an iconic folk
symbol of the spirit that unifies and protects. This is a visual
celebration of this powerful devotion and of the multi-faceted
images that artists, folk artists, and everyday devotees create in
the name of Nuestra Senora.

This research examines the possible effects of bilinguality on
additional language proficiency, and the academic achievements of
Iranian EFL learners. The study is a longitudinal survey of 98
students in the English Language Department, Urmia University, in
Azerbaijan, Iran, over a period of two academic years. It compares,
in three phases of data collection, 56 Turkish-Persian bilinguals
with 42 Persian monolinguals, in terms of their performances on the
FCE language proficiency tests, i.e., speaking proficiency,
listening comprehension, reading comprehension, and writing
proficiency. The two groups were also compared, with regard to
their academic achievements, based on their recorded grades at
every stage of the study. Analyses of the data submitted to a
series of independent t-tests indicated that bilinguals performed
significantly better than monolinguals in all measures of language
proficiency (except for the writing skill), and attained higher
levels of academic achievement. The findings, therefore, appear to
provide support for the argument that bilinguality is a good
predictor of success in learning additional languages - in this
case, English.
