Skilful personalities trained in the art of public speaking from a wide range of fields exemplify good models of public speaking for ESP students. The article describes the different modes at play in many TED Talks. It is by addressing the different verbal and nonverbal modes that contribute to meaning making that lecturers can expose to students how speakers at TED achieve one important objective: to captivate and persuade their audience. Students, in turn, if able to realize how different modes are orchestrated in these talks, might be encouraged to voice their ‘Ideas worth spreading’ in a Ted-style and might be also emboldened to disseminate technical and scientific knowledge to a wide audience, contributing this way to the popularization of science. In the context of an ESP technology classroom, TED talks allow teacher and student to revisit to the very origins where TED techniques root from: delivering a precise concept in a succinct manner that aims to intertwine the speaker's words with diagrams and written instructions. Concurrently, students might visualize their desired language selves portrayed in TED speakers and be motivated to learn Technological English.Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha202420242018info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10317/13141https://revista.uclm.es/index.php/rdi/article/view/1856reponame:Repositorio Digital UPCTinstname:Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena(UPCT)InglésAtribución-SinDerivadas 3.0 Españahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/es/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:repositorio.upct.es:10317/131412026-05-15T06:39:02Z
