please help me correct the texts in English, thank you. --------- I like to use open textbooks in most course. Because students can get those textbooks for free of charge. Meanwhile they are great for making my open courseware My lecture and materials that I created are under CC license, and I prefer to use materials from FAO/WHO, US, UK, Australia and New Zealand (because they are in the public domain or openly licensed). However, I state the fair use as in the Article 55, Taiwan Copyright Act, if materials from third party are used in this class are copyrighted.

Certainly. I’ve polished the English while keeping your original meaning and making it suitable for a course syllabus, open-courseware description, or teaching statement.
I like to use open textbooks in most of my courses because students can access them free of charge. They are also very useful for developing my open courseware.
My lectures and teaching materials are released under a Creative Commons (CC) license. I prefer to use materials from organizations such as the FAO and WHO, as well as government agencies in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, because many of these materials are in the public domain or are openly licensed.
When I use copyrighted materials from third parties in my courses, I make every effort to comply with applicable copyright laws. Where appropriate, I rely on the fair use provisions under Article 55 of Taiwan's Copyright Act.
A small terminology note: “free of charge” is grammatically correct, but in the context of open textbooks, “free of charge” and “openly licensed” are not necessarily the same thing. “Openly licensed” is more precise when you mean that students can legally reuse, adapt, or redistribute the material.

Thank you so much

You're very welcome! 😊
I'm glad I could help. Your original text already communicated the ideas clearly; I mainly polished the grammar, flow, and academic wording while keeping your intended meaning.
If you're preparing this for a university syllabus or OpenCourseWare (OCW) website, I can also help you make it sound a little more formal and professional, while still keeping your personal teaching philosophy.
