The educational resources on this website have been created for our students under our understanding of "fair use" for educational resources.

China has stricter laws regarding Internet content than the US, but we have done our best to comply with those laws. For example, it is never our intention to "make China look bad"--we love living and working here! Examples and photos from China are here to help those in other countries understand this wonderful country better. If any Chinese person sees something on www.krigline.com.cn that should not be published in China, please notify us in English) and we will remove it as soon as possible. (Note: to comply with these stricter standards, some content on www.krigline.com is not on www.krigline.com.cn.)

I have created the definitions used on this website, but often after consulting one or more dictionaries. I highly recommend the following reference materials to anyone trying to learn English:

Microsoft Encarta Reference Library 2004. (Software) USA: Microsoft Corporation, ©1993-2003. (It is nice to have a good dictionary/thesaurus inside your computer when you are writing. I often consult this software when composing definitions.)

Summers, Della, Director. Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English, 3^rd ed. Essex: Longman Group, Ltd. (Pearson Education), 1995. (Great dictionary for non-native speakers; it’s no coincidence that my definitions sound a lot like the ones in this reference resource! Longman Dictionary is also available as software, and it is available in China. I highly recommend this helpful tool.)

Without obtaining additional permission, non-profit organizations, churches, schools and educators are welcome to use materials/songs for their own use, including recording and distributing materials locally or making copies for class use. Before distributing our materials (e.g., beyond a local church or classroom), please write to us for permission. (We would also appreciate hearing when our materials are helpful, especially if they are recorded or copied.)

To print our original material (e.g., a photo or article from krigline.com) in book form or to post it on a different website, written permission is required from Michael Krigline (see below). Additional addresses are available via our "links" page. We do not and cannot give others permission to use anything created by (and copyright of) someone else.
