Here are my quick Top 5 TED talks on EnglishCentral. (just my own preferences)
1. Ken Robinson: Schools Kill Creativity
- so intelligent but so humorous. A brilliant speech about the need to change education.
2. Deb Roy – The Birth Of A Word
- valuable insights into how children learn language from real children and how they first learn to speak and make “words”.
3. Rick Smolan – A girl, A photograph, A homecoming
- you’ll never forget this true story of a photographer who adopts a S.Korean orphan. Powerful.
4. Daniel Pink – The Surprising Science Of Motivation
- a classic and you’ll learn about how the small things impact human behavior
- overview of how English is everywhere in the world and a growing force bringing cultures together.
