Overview
21st Century Reading was created through a partnership between TED, a nonprofit dedicated to spreading ideas through short, powerful talks and National Geographic Learning. 21st Century Reading provides the ideal forum for learners of English to make connections with topics ranging from science to business to global issues.

• Featuring extraordinary stories presented by inspiring thinkers and doers, TED Talks ignite curiosity and introduce learners to ideas which can change the world.
• TED Talks use authentic language, delivered by experts in their field, providing learners with models of English that are real and relevant to their academic studies.
• Critical and Creative Thinking skills - including analysis, evaluation, synthesis, reflection, inference, and problem-solving - are fully integrated into every unit, to help learners develop academic skills.
• Scaffolded reading and vocabulary tasks guide learners to a better understanding of the key ideas, skills, and language.
