TED

TED, the acronym for Technology, Education, Design (slogan: "Ideas Worth Spreading"), is an online language resource. One of its many attractions for classroom (or self study) use is that it gets students to listen to many different accents, a true reflection of the real world outside the classroom. Another attraction is the wealth of subjects dealt with.

The TED nonprofit holds two annual TED conferences, in Long Beach/Palm Springs and Edinburgh, Scotland, and the website is regularly updated with new stuff.
