The pie charts illustrate the ways used by foreign learners when booking online English courses in three different countries over the period (from 2009 to 2010).

Overall, what stands out from the graph is that the largest proportion of the booking was consistently allocated to arrival of orders and internet, whereas the proportion for other categories such as pre-booked with agent and other showed considerable variation over the years.

Learning at the details, arrival of books and internet dominated throughout the years in both three countries. In 2009, it represented half of total if we take together in Australia and in USA, and in 2010 it increased around 5%.

Looking at other categories, pre-booked with agent is the second largest one after arrival and internet sections it consists 27% in 2009 in Australia and it declined by 15% in 2010, in the USA the pre-booked with agent and other accounted together about 51% over the years. In Canada these categories accounted together less than 45%.
