Using TED Talks as the springboard to share ideas, this new four-level reading series shows learners how to understand and respond to ideas and content in English. Featuring extraordinary stories presented by inspiring thinkers and doers, TED Talks ignite curiosity and introduce learners to ideas which can change the world. TED Talks use authentic language, delivered by experts in their field, providing learners with models of English that are real and relevant to their academic studies.
