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«´

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?
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.´
