Communicative Competence with TED

This monograph examines the use of TED Talks as an effective tool for developing communicative competence in high school students. The study emphasizes the gap that often exists between grammatical knowledge and real-life communication skills, and explores how authentic video materials can bridge this divide.The book discusses the theoretical foundations of communicative competence, the role of authentic and multimodal resources in language education, and the potential of TED Talks to enhance linguistic, sociocultural, and pragmatic skills. It also offers a methodological framework, sample exercises, and classroom strategies that teachers can adapt to their practice.By combining theory with practical guidance, the monograph highlights how foreign language education can move beyond textbooks to become more dynamic, engaging, and culturally relevant. It is intended for educators, researchers, and graduate students interested in innovative approaches to teaching foreign languages.
