Dear
Native English
speakers,
We are a small organization in
Thailand, a developing country in South East Asia, working to improve
English-language education in the country. We are developing software which will
help underprivileged kids learn English effectively. English language is
a very important skill that will help them get better jobs and improve
the lives of themselves and their families. The cost of learning with
expert English teachers is beyond the means of most families and the
software will be a way to redress this inequality in society. (We will
provide a basic version free-of-charge and a premium version for a small
fee to cover development and distribution cost. The cost of learning
with the premium version will be as low as 25 cents per learning hour.)
The purpose of this Web site is to collect information for an important learning
module of the software. In the module, kids will learn to associate an
appropriate sentence with a fun image. (Learning with humorous images
helps improve recall.) We would like to ask for your small contribution
of time.
If you just spend 15-20 minutes a day writing descriptions for
these images (while having fun doing so), and email, say, 5-10
native English-speaking friends about this Web site, you will have made
a significant gift of knowledge to thousands of lives.
Thank you very much,
Insight Learning team
P.S.
1. For legal reasons, the copyright
on the descriptions you submit will need to be transferred
to us.
2. If you have cute, fun, or
interesting images you'd like to submit, please feel free to
send them to info@insight-learning.org. Your contributions will be greatly appreciated.
