Abstract
Nowadays, with lots of good course books with engaging contents and up-to-date
digital resources, do teachers need to create materials of their own? The
answer is certainly yes as teachers need to tailor the syllabus to the needs of
the class. The best way is to use authentic materials such as newspapers,
magazines, videos, even leaflets. Video is undoubtedly the most powerful medium
in teaching as it grabs students' attention and sparks curiosity. TED, which
stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, is a non-profit organization, which
runs conferences of different types with the most interesting people as
speakers sharing cutting-edge ideas. It is a great source for teachers of
English as they can easily find a talk to lead in or round off the topic in the
course book. However, English language teachers do not need only ideas to
inspire the class, but first of all they look for new vocabulary and examples
of grammar patterns studied to enhance their students’ command of English. They
choose the items which seem beneficial. Here the problem arises as speakers at
TED are from all over the world and may be non-native speakers as well as the
majority of educators are non-natives and teach English in EFL and ESL
classrooms. Either of them use the vocabulary of their choice but the frequency
of usage may be low. As for the grammar one can find examples which are
different from classical grammar of English. Whether we should consider such
cases as a new trend in English is debatable. On the other hand, this is the
way how a language changes. The paper gives examples of difficult cases and may
be interesting for a wide audience.
