“…So, following Talavan (2007a) the visual dimension, is a significant feature of the authentic videos since it makes the understanding process easier thanks to the gestures and the context in which the situation is taking place. That is why most of the examples given when talking about authentic videos are movies, tv shows, series, and so on (Weyers, 1999;Metruk, 2018;Kim, 2015). In this way, video becomes a "multi-sensory medium" (Swaffar & Vlatten, 1997).…”

In many EFL classrooms in Colombia, it is evident how students struggle trying to use English to communicate; nonetheless, with the revolution of ICTs that has taken place in the last years, there is a variety of tools available to support English learning autonomously with applications, blogs, and online courses; however, many of these tools were not originally designed for teaching but can be adapted for such purpose. TED is a website and a downloadable application where videos are shared in which you can see a wide variety of English speakers born in many parts around the world speaking in a fun and familiar manner with the audience about various topics of interest that besides, come along with cultural content, which extends the range of accents, words, expressions, and ways of referring to the same topic. In this action research, we propose a reflection on the incidence of TED talks on the teaching and learning of English as a foreign language. The instruments used to collect data were interviews, questionnaires, and teacher journals. The use of these videos provided the students with all the communicative elements that allowed them to use English to express their ideas. This offers a glimpse of how useful authentic videos and subtitles are when encouraging students to learn English.

“…The use of such tools as courses of leading educational organizations, hosted on specialized platforms, as part of the implementation of project activities, can be an effective way to solve this problem. We put the importance of such courses under investigation, primarily due to their relevant authentic video materials as a worldly recognized means of increasing motivation and the development of listening comprehension skills (Baeva, 2017;Kim, 2015;Metruk, 2018). Below we consider the main characteristics of some popular educational platforms, as well as the advantages of each one of these resources.…”
