This document discusses the TOETOE Technology for Open English project, which aims to develop digital infrastructure and engage publishers to expand access to open educational resources (OER). It describes using open channels like podcasts and websites to share teacher training videos, language learning tools, and open access journals. The document highlights challenges around copyright and providing open corpora, and outlines project outputs like workshops, ongoing corpus development, and disseminating information on stakeholders' visions and using OER.

13. Every country would like to establish themselves
as a dominant superpower in the areas of
economics and politics. America’s superpower
status can be felt throughout the globe, and
countries overseas are often required to adapt
to American-style legislation that has been
imposed as a result of foreign policy decisions
made in America. Nevertheless, predictions
about America’s imminent global decline are
evident and the question remains as to which
country will become the next economic
superpower.
