Episode 160 How To Use TED.Ed Effectively To Learn English


Listen Later

In today's episode we're looking at the website TED.com. ...well, I'm talking about it, you can go look at it! 😉

I'll teach you:

1. How to navigate the website to get to the most useful part for your English
2. How to use what we learned in Ep 152 (Learning Plans) together with the TED.Ed class to make the most of their videos
3. How to make the most of each of the sections you'll find in TED.Ed videos so you're really practising all the different skills.

There isn't any difficult vocabulary in today's episode so instead I'll just give you the links to the website as discussed in the video.

  1. Go to TED.com

  2. On your phone you can use the search bar to find 'watch', if you're on a computer you can see 'watch' in the top right-hand banner.

  3. Scroll down and click on TED-ED

  4. On your phone just click 'Explore'. On a computer find 'Explore Ted-Ed' on the right-hand side.

  5. Click 'Students Start Here' https://ed.ted.com/

  6. Filter your choices or click the 'all subjects' button to see all the options.

  7. https://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-meaning-of-life-according-to-simone-de-beauvoir-iseult-gillespie

    This was my option.

    On your phone the different tabs I discussed (Think, Dig Deeper and Discuss) are underneath the video. On the computer they're on the right.
    I hope you find this helpful! There's so many things to listen to and learn on TED, so you'll never run out of ideas.
