Adding Special Text area to mainpage

[Lady_Lobo]

I am trying to add a "Featured this month..." area to the mainpage, which is separated by a header followed by the text. I defined the header in lalnguages\english.php and the text that would follow it in languages\english\featured.php. These two files are called in lines 49-53 of templates\content\index_default.tpl.php. The only problem is I get this error: Warning: Failed opening 'includes/languages/english/FILENAME_DEFINE_FEATURED' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/html/catalog/templates/content/index_default.tpl.php on line 50. What would cause this file to fail to open? Here is the area that calls it:
<tr>
<td class="main" align="center"><?php echo TEXT_RETURN_BOL; ?></td></tr>
<tr>
<td class="main" align="center" bgcolor="#5551f9"><?php echo TEXT_FEATURED; ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="main" align="center"><?php include(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . FILENAME_DEFINE_FEATURED); ?></td>
</tr>
<tr><td ><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); ?></td>
</tr>
