Hey all,
I’m fed up with the textbooks that I teach my students from here in China so I’ve decided to write my own textbook. I will begin by collating interesting, modern english texts and then create comprehension questions for them.
I don’t know anything about copyright protection (ie the protection afforded to those who have written the interesting modern texts that I want to use) so can anyone tell me what the deal is there? Do I have to write to people and ask for permission to use everything? Even if the textbook will not be sold, only distributed? Even if it will not be published and will be for the use of one institution only?
cheers everyone and good luck!
Nicola
