AB  - Nowadays, with lots of good course books with engaging contents and up-to-datedigital resources, do teachers need to create materials of their own? Theanswer is certainly yes as teachers need to tailor the syllabus to the needs ofthe class. The best way is to use authentic materials such as newspapers,magazines, videos, even leaflets. Video is undoubtedly the most powerful mediumin teaching as it grabs students' attention and sparks curiosity. TED, whichstands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, is a non-profit organization, whichruns conferences of different types with the most interesting people asspeakers sharing cutting-edge ideas. It is a great source for teachers ofEnglish as they can easily find a talk to lead in or round off the topic in thecourse book. However, English language teachers do not need only ideas toinspire the class, but first of all they look for new vocabulary and examplesof grammar patterns studied to enhance their students’ command of English. Theychoose the items which seem beneficial. Here the problem arises as speakers atTED are from all over the world and may be non-native speakers as well as themajority of educators are non-natives and teach English in EFL and ESLclassrooms. Either of them use the vocabulary of their choice but the frequencyof usage may be low. As for the grammar one can find examples which aredifferent from classical grammar of English. Whether we should consider suchcases as a new trend in English is debatable. On the other hand, this is theway how a language changes. The paper gives examples of difficult cases and maybe interesting for a wide audience.
