Other - Ted Talks Video Clip and Script

Heres how it works! 

I'll provide you with a link to a short presentation that you'll need to prepare before the lesson.  

Don't worry, prepare just means to listen to the talk, noting any difficulties, vocabulary, or questions you may have in understanding the presentation.

What to do: 

• Watch the clip and read the accompanying script as best as you can (do not worry if you can't understand everything!)  
  
• Write down what you have learned and things that you don't understand, such as phrases, vocabulary, expressions, or anything else that you would like to discuss during the lesson.
• Think about your opinions and any questions about the topic
  
• Speak and express your opinions and ideas freely during the lesson. 

 During the lesson:

• I will ask you for a summary of what the talk deals with and your thoughts on the subject
• We will discuss any vocabulary, phrases, expressions, pronunciation and other details that you do not understand
  
• We will review the clip's main points
• Go through questions about the topic
• Discuss any other thoughts or feelings you have about the clip.

Even though the initial lesson is 1 hour, you get many hours of  English learning with your initial preparation where you watch the video, read the subtitles, then take the class to dig deeper and review.

See you soon!
