About the talk
TED Talks provide engaging authentic listening practice in the ELT classroom, but there's much more to them than that. This talk explores the power of TED at deeper levels, showing how learners can use them to become powerful communicators – even at pre-intermediate and below. We look at examples from TED Talks and how to use them in the classroom.
Comments
Video as a source of big ideas
Yeah, a lot of people nowadays do like to watch such video channels and TED. And quite a number of presentations given can be regarded as interesting and practically useful.
