@misc{Karczewska_Małgorzata_TED, author={Karczewska, Małgorzata}, howpublished={online}, publisher={Zielona Góra: Oficyna Wydawnicza Uniwersytetu Zielonogórskiego}, language={eng}, abstract={The e-book contains sample exercises based on TED recordings which can be used during practical English classes (and not only). The e-book is divided into four thematic parts: Language and communication, The animal world, Medical issues and Psychology and well-being. There are five chapters in each part, all based on a different recording.}, abstract={Each chapter opens with warm-up activities with questions for pair or group work, next, there are questions related to the recording, after which there is an exercise introducing the vocabulary used in the recording. In the final part of the chapter, grammar, vocabulary or writing exercises are located. All these elements are related to the topic of the recording. An advantage of using TED materials is their vast array of topics as well as duration, which allows the teacher to choose a recording matching the needs of a particular group of students.}, abstract={The fact that the recordings are available online for free makes them usable both during classes and individually at home. In this latter case, subtitles in English (and, often, in Polish) are a help. The use of the recordings is not only an opportunity to develop language competence, but it also popularises diverse scientific issues. In this way, English becomes a key opening the door to knowledge about the world.}, type={książka}, type={e-book}, title={TED to fight tedious classes.
