In this interactive presentation, the presenter will explore this question using examples from authentic TED talks which have been integrated into the language learning methodology of 21st Century Reading, a stunning new series from National Geographic Learning. Participants in the session will come away with an understanding of the rationale and techniques for using this authentic resource in their classroom.
