So many thanks, Briju--and to your wife as well. Having The New York Times here was exciting but rather carzy. Thanks for your constant smile and help, as always :-) Great picture!

First I would like to thank you - Dr. Franklin, for giving me an opportunity to teach EDCT 203. To teach EDCT 203 I had to pass the English speak test administered by the English Department of OU. To pass speak the test, I enrolled myself in the English Language Improvement Program (ELIP), where I used a software called NativeAccent, this software helped me a lot to improve my English pronunciation. On Wed, Aug 23, the director of ELIP Dr. Dawn Bikowski, sent an email asking if you would like to be interviewed by a The New York Times reporter. First I got a little scared, but then I said yes. On Thursday morning, he interviewed me and in the evening he came to our home and interviewed my wife regarding our teaching experiences in US classroom settings as internationals. The photographer took pictures and yes, they even placed a picture of ours in the article! Everything is still sinking in, but here we are on The New York Times dated Aug 29,2012ŠŠ..:-) Online article link- http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/29/education/college-helps-foreign-students- get-through-to-american-ears.html?pagewanted=all Briju On 8/30/12 8:39 AM, " itech-request at listserv.ohio.edu " < itech-request at listserv.ohio.edu > wrote: Send Itech mailing list submissions to itech at listserv.ohio.edu To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://listserv.ohio.edu/mailman/listinfo/itech or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to itech-request at listserv.ohio.edu You can reach the person managing the list at itech-owner at listserv.ohio.edu When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Itech digest..."
