Abstract

This study examines how TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) Talks, used as an extensive listening material, affected college students' listening skills, and explores strategies to tailor the activity for lower-proficiency students.The qualitative data analysis, based on two surveys and students' journal entries, indicates that students felt the lectures improved their listening comprehension, enhanced their motivation, and accustomed them to listening to a variety of English accents.Finally, assisting students to select lectures appropriate to their comprehension levels and conducting various types of scaffolding activities for lower proficiency students are discussed.
