In the classroom, I asked the students to recommend sites that they used for their English. TED talks came up. So we took a look.
There are about 2500 talks. You can search for them by topic, duration etc. They are usually transcribed, often into several languages. The transcripts can be used to navigate the talk—in the original language and also in the transcribed language. These are professional talks, and this is a versatile tool.
Two talks we quickly located: a Japanese toy designer and an Irish short person speaking of the need for designs that suit everyone.
Interesting.
