Case Study 2: THAILAND (Bangkok)

³I teach English in Thailand at one of the most influential all boys colleges in

Bangkok. I also teach privately and have found the Talk a Lot program both fast,

effective and professional« I work and teach English in Thailand. I have used

your materials for around 12 months and have found them to be an excellent

source for materials and information. As a qualified teacher from England and

now a licensed teacher in Thailand, I am involved with teaching in both the

classroom and privately. My project is to expand my private teaching using Talk aLot exclusively as I have found that it really covers all aspects of teaching English.

My goal is to get the language off the page and out of the students' mouths. Talk

a Lot has helped me to do this very successfully«´

³I am currently teaching English in Japan, working for others. I want to do my own

thing here and I would like for your courses to be a big part of my program. My

students and I really enjoy your courses. The course will be used at my home and

business. Thank you very much!´






Case Study 4: USA (Bronx, New York City)

³ The name of my school is Liberty Learning Group. The idea behind my project is

practice makes perfect, especially when it comes to learning English. I

established this idea to help all people in my community with help in learning

English, but in a group keeping in step with our community. Together we learn

more. I currently have over 45 members between both my groups... I thought of

going to the next step and using computers to help in the practice of learning

English by having students go to the library and visit your website and enjoy using your materials and lessons to better themselves. I plan to use your materials to

review and reinforce what they learned. I will use your website English

Banana.com to have my members read and complete lessons. For those who do

not have access to computers I have purchased two computers from eBay to

assist in reaching my goal.´





7. Why Free Licences?

The primary goal is altruistic, charitable, philanthropic, humanitarian« to make the world a

better place. We believe that education should be free ± with the opportunity to learnEnglish open to all.

³ There is no wealth but life.´

John Ruskin, social thinker (1819-1900)






³ Everyone thinks of changing

the world, but no one thinks

of changing himself.´

Leo Tolstoy, writer (1828-1910)






Why do it? Because I can! I own the rights to these materials, and I want

to do it.

Paradox: the more we give away, the more we receive«

Like any writer, I want my work to be read, and also to be useful. I

believe that it¶s far better for many people to use the materials for free,

than for a handful of people to use them and pay.

³I feel that the quotation at the top of this page says it all: µThere is no

wealth but life.¶ W hat do we have of value, really, apart from life? Life is

fleeting, so if somebody sees value in my work ± the English

Banana.com materials ± and can use it to improve their quality of life, I ¶m

very happy for them to do so. I hope that perhaps you will be able tobenefit from one or both Free English Banana.com Licences.´
