OVERVIEW
Today’s teenagers are more connected than ever before, and eager to explore exciting new ideas from around the world. In this session, we’ll look at how using TED Talks in the language classroom raises expectations of what our teenage learners can achieve. By focusing lessons around powerful ideas from TED Talks, teens are able to explore fresh perspectives on universal topics, develop their own informed opinions, and communicate effectively in person and in writing.
