Abstract
The objective of this research was to explore the effect of applying TED Talks as an international platform to promote the first-year English majored students’ presentation performance. Even though a lot of research has been done on how to help English language learners become better speakers, few of them focus on using TED videos and prove them to be efficient educational resources for enhancing students’ presentation skills. Therefore, more work needs to be conducted to clarify the positive results brought by using videos in TED. The focus of this paper is ninety first-year English majored students at Dong Nai Technology University ranging from 18-20 years old. A combination of methods was applied to collect quantitative and qualitative data, including questionnaire, class observation and semi-structured interview. The results showed a positive influence on students’ presentation ability when TED videos were implemented in language teaching. In addition, this study indicated students’ positive reactions toward the use of the video-based learning program.
