The principles of teaching oral communication such as listening to understand could be addressed through this resource. Students are identifying a range of purposes for listening in a variety of situations formal, and informal and set goals appropriate to each listening task. For examples students can evaluate the effectiveness of both sides of an argument while listening to a tedtalk podcast.
Students are also addressing active listening strategies in group discussions regarding the podcasts that are heard. The students are also making inferences and interpreting the oral texts. The teacher may ask the students why different audiences may interpret the podcasts in different ways.
There are many interesting and educational TED TALK videos that can be found and used inside and outside the classroom to develop a student's learning experience and keep them engaged. The TED TALK videos can also be used as a great minds on portion of a lesson to introduce a topic for example debates. The TED TALKS that I would recommend for the classroom are 3 Rules to Spark Learning, How I Teach Kids To Love Science, and Math Is The Hidden Secret To Loving The World. However there are numerous videos that can be found for both teachers and students alike. https://www.ted.com/talks?topics%5B%5D=education
The features that make this resource useful for teachers of literacy are that you are able to incorporate listening and speaking activities with the tedtalks. I can anticipate using this idea in my upcoming literacy placement by sharing a tedtalk podcast on a topic that references a theme that my students are learning about to ignite and spark some good group conversations and debates in the classroom.
