TED English is online dialogues around TED talks! Each 45-minute session will feature a cool and informative TED Talk, coupled with Q & A and discussion about the meaning and language used in the talk. By joining this program you’ll get the opportunity to talk about vocabulary and grammar from the TED talk, react to the topic discussed in the talk, and interact with a huge community of people online through a discussion facilitated by America House’s very own English language Resident!
During this session we will discuss TED Talk by Philippa Neave: The Unexpected Challenge of a Country’s First Election.
How do you teach an entire country how to vote when no one has done it before? It's a huge challenge facing fledgling democracies around the world - and one of the biggest problems turns out to be a lack of shared language. After all, if you can't describe something, you probably can't understand it. In this eye-opening talk, election expert Philippa Neave shares her experiences from the front lines of democracy - and her solution to this unique language gap. This TED English session will be on Monday October 19th at 5:00 PM.
The deadline to register is October 19th by 12:00 PM. Before the session you'll receive an email with the link to the online meeting.
