Dear Dr. Bose,
Let me first say how poor the English department, Hodeidah university, has been for having missed a great Methodologist like you.
I have read some of your Letters to the English Teachers and I particularly like the one in which you identified 3 kinds of learners and 3 kinds of teachers. I can humbly say that I belong to the first category of learners who may be termed as sponge, absorbing water very quickly. But some teachers unfortunately do not transmit to their students the best they have.
Frankly speaking, my knowledge and understanding of “Methods” got further refined by your sweet spring of ideas embodied in “Letters to English Teachers”. I must say there is more wisdom in those letters than I ever found in the classroom. I also benefited a lot from your maiden publication. A guide to English Teachers which definitely guides one to achieve a certain degree of professionalism.
On behalf of all English teachers and teachers-to-be, I very sincerely thank you for your valued efforts. Hope you will continue to provide us with your brilliant tips on teaching.
Sincerely,
Waleed Hamud Shams,
Level 3, English Department
Hodeidah University.

Dear Dr. Ramakanta,
I have been following your column “Improve your English” in Yemen Times. I was wondering if the whole series of lessons could be available in one complete set. If not, I would like you to advise me if there is any good book for foreigners to learn English.
I will be glad to hear from you.
Best Regards, Dr.M.Shamsan

Dear Dr. Shamsan,
Thanks for your comments. We are in the process of bringing out the lessons in a book in foreseeable future. There are a few books available in the market on functional English. You can choose the one suitable for your purpose.
Meanwhile please continue following the lessons and send us your comments.
