TED is a series of informative, educational, inspiring and sometimes jaw-dropping talks that present ‘Ideas Worth Spreading’.
Ted has attracted many of the world’s most important thinkers such as Larry Page, Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Ken Robinson, and a few winners of the Nobel Prize. There is an emphasis on informing, educating and opening people’s eyes to new ideas, making them perfect for the classroom. Students love these talks and really appreciate it when you take the time to make a lesson out of them. Teenagers, being the ‘YouTube generation’, also find them highly engaging and motivating. They come with transcriptions in most common languages, allowing students to read what they have listened to in English or their native tongue. This post will list 10 TED talks I have found work particularly well in the classroom. LanguageandLiteracyTheoryandPractice - Music in the English Classroom. "If you have never tried using music in these ways.... please do! " -- Chris Brewer [1] Using music in any class can help to create a more positive learning environment and there is no better classroom to incorporate this than the English classroom.
English class is a time in the school day where students are exploring different forms of literature and media which allows the teacher an opportunity to play non-distracting music for the class. Simply listening to music while doing activities and independent study can help students to focus and raise energy levels. Listening to music can also help students get inspired about the study of English and make connections between the two arts. A very effective way of using music in the English classroom is through direct music activities. Using music in assignments and activities help students understand important concepts, use their imagination, and improve their creative abilities[2] .
