Ted Talks
Want to improve your English listening and pronunciation skills? Or just want to learn more about world issues? Â Try watching TED Talks. TED Talks are short presentations -- usually 10-15 minutes long -- where experts explain some of the most interesting and important issues of our modern world. Â You can watch talks from scientists, inventors, journalists, educators, and so many others. Â All the videos offer subtitles and transcripts in English, and many have been translated to other languages too. Â Consider watching a video with subtitles in your native language, then watching with subtitles in English, and then using the transcript to practice imitating the presenter. Â If you click on a phrase in the transcript, you'll hear the presenter say it! Â Just one note: these presenters come from all over the world, so some of them will have different accents.
EnglishCentral
Want to improve your English language skills? This site combines cool videos with captions so that you can read along, fill in the missing words, etc. It's especially good for ESL students, but could help anyone improve grammar, spelling, and listening comprehension.
