This is a great way to reinforce the lesson vocabulary and engage your students with the topic. Centre your following class around this theme and give your students 10 to 15 minutes to recount their video to their partners.
Schools will often use the term ESL (sometimes called ESOL or English for Speakers of Other Languages) when describing the programs that educate students who are not native English speakers and often for describing ESL instructors and students. You can separate talks by duration, topic and language in the talk tab.Ĭheck that the speaker isn’t speaking too fast and the accent isn’t too thick (native speakers are best).Īnother way to do this is to choose a theme such as ‘business’ ‘finance’ ‘or ‘crime’ and ask your students to select and watch a TED video on the subject. ESL is a common abbreviation used in schools and it stands for English as a Second Language. TED is still a great resource but when choosing a talk for homework this is my advice:Ĭhoose a video which is no more than 10 minutes long. Sometimes I’d set a TED video and everyone would love it and other times they’d complain that it was too long, too fast or too confusing to understand. In my experience setting a TED talk for homework can be hit and miss. TED provides thousands of videos about technology, education, politics, science and culture.
