Head, Dept. of English

Dear Dr. Ashanthi Seresinghe,

Thank you very much for your observations/comments on the syllabimaterial sent by us. I consider your comments extremely important and helpful for Dr. Jayasinghe and the Department m to make suitable changes to the existing draft.

Though I am no expert in 'English' matters, I agree wholeheartedly with your concern that die syllabus in its present form makes it Euro-Centric and that it needs to be more universalized in its application to our type of cultural context.

Again while conveying my very profound appreciation's. to you, I hope you will be available in future too for any necessary advice/assistance in our academic matters.

With best wishes, Dr. R. Ranawaka
