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!
Dawn

Thank you all for your wishes.
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..:-)
