Copyright Laws in Myanmar.

Copyright Law in Myanmar has existed since 1914, English colonial time. Trade marks, service Marks can be registered as forms of WORDS, MARKS, DEVICES or LOGO. Officisl declaration of ownwership of of a trademark is necessary. Myanmar has had court decisions which had protected IP rights of the Plaintiff of the case of Trade Mark Conflict.
There were some recorded law suits regarding copyright.
There are some laws protecting Intellectula Property rights at present. New IP laws were enacted in Myanmar in 2006. These laws strongly protect IP rights of IP ownership in Myanmar as ASEAN countries. Thus, Myanmar has jurisdiction of IP rights protection.
There are no rules of 'fair use for teachers' clearly in Myanmar.

2.     Elicit words such as, old, young, etc. If students find it difficult to think of such words in L1.
3.    Ask Ss to guess the missing words the dialogue. 

Gloria: I’m surprised at the variety of people on this tour.

Andy: Oh, yeah? I hadn’t noticed.
Gloria: Well, we’ll be spending the next two weeks with these people so I thought I’d get to know 
            some of them.

Andy: That’s nice.
Gloria: Did you see that thirty-__________________ couple with a __________________  and

           an __________________? I’m really surprised they’re on this tour.
Andy: I’m sure they know what they’re doing.
Gloria: And how about that group of seniors? Some of them look like they’re in 
             the __________________- to __________________- seventies.

Andy: They seem pretty spry to me.
Gloria: But what really surprises me is that group of __________________ couples with

            their __________________ and __________________ children. They’ll be a handful.
Andy: They seemed pretty well behaved to me.
Gloria: And did you notice that woman in her __________________-forties and the forty-

            __________________ man each traveling alone? She seemed nice, but he didn’t seem too 
           friendly.
Andy: Maybe he’s using his time to size up everybody like you are.
Gloria: Well, I wish there were more __________________ in this group. I like talking to young 
             people.
Andy: I think there will be plenty of people for you to talk to these two weeks when you’re 
            not sightseeing.
Gloria: Sightseeing? Oh yeah, sightseeing.

       early-   , late -,  thirty-something. If students do not get most of these words, let them listen to
