<br>
<br>
First I would like to thank you - Dr. Franklin, for giving me an<br>
opportunity to teach EDCT 203. To teach EDCT 203 I had to pass<br>
the English speak test administered by the English Department of OU. To<br>
pass speak the test, I enrolled myself in the English Language Improvement<br>
Program (ELIP), where I used a software called NativeAccent, this software<br>
helped me a lot to improve my English pronunciation.<br>
<br>
<br>
            On Wed, Aug 23, the director of ELIP Dr. Dawn  Bikowski, sent<br>
an email asking if you would like to be interviewed by a The New York<br>
Times reporter. First I got a little scared, but then I said yes. On<br>
Thursday morning, he interviewed me and in the evening he came to our home<br>
and interviewed my wife regarding our teaching experiences in US classroom<br>
settings as internationals. The photographer took pictures and yes, they<br>
even placed a picture of ours in the article! Everything is still sinking<br>
in, but here we are on The New York Times dated Aug 29,2012ŠŠ..:-)<br>
