Description

Hello Cafetalk Community!

How would you like to watch an insightful, interesting, and informative TED Talks video and then talk about it in the lesson? This is for intermediate (and above) English-learners who want to write and express their opinions about the video.

[*NOTE] If you are unable to understand a native American-speaker in English, this course may be too advanced for you. At the same time, I welcome any student at any level who wants to challenge taking this valuable course.

[Basic outline of the lesson] - 50 minutes.

[Before the lesson]

I will provide you with 3 choices of TED Talks videos on diverse topics. (Approx. 20 - 30 minute per video). Please take the time to view the video before the lesson. The videos are translated into Japanese, but I would prefer it if you do not look at the subtitles. Unless you absolutely have to view the subtitles in order to understand the content, I would like you to challenge your listening skills by watching the video without the subtitles. (I understand either way)  

[The first 15-20 minutes of the lesson:]

1.) You are required to write an essay (2 paragraphs minimum) about what you learned in the TED Talks video that you saw.
a.) You can write an essay during the first 5-10 minutes of the lesson.
b.) Or you can choose to write it on your own time before the lesson.
This decision is up to you, and either option is fine with me.

[The second part (approx. 30 minutes) of the lesson:]

2.) I will ask you to answer a variety of prepared questions about the topic of the TED Talks video that you ed.

3.) I will ask for your opinion about what you've learned, liked and disliked about the video. This will give you a chance to practice your speaking skills and expressing your thoughts in English.

I would like to have an intriguing, informative, and insightful conversation with you about the topic in the video. I believe TED Talks speakers and their messages are extremely helpful in gaining insight and the topic in depth. I think you will also be fascinated by the many excellent speakers and topics on TED Talks too!
