The paper demonstrates the results of the experimental research conducted during the first semester of the academic year 2020/21, including the remote learning period due to the Covid19 pandemic situation, at the lessons of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) (with students of Specialties 208 “Agrarian Engineering” and 141 “Electrical Engineering and Energy”) at the State Agrarian and Engineering University in Podilia, Kamianets-Podilskyi, Ukraine. The research basically analyses how TED (Technology, Entertainment, and Design) Talks impact university students’ listening comprehension and speaking skills. Online study support for ESP was personally created by the educators as a four-credit course due to ECTS in the Moodle Learning Management System (LMS) with the application of TED Talks, which was used for study purposes on the B1 level. The research sample is represented by 50 students majoring in Agrarian Engineering and 50 students majoring in Electrical Engineering and Energy, all of them enrolled in the mandatory subject of ESP. The subjects (students) were divided into the experimental and control groups. At the beginning of the course, the students wrote the pre-test, for their start level to be evaluated, and at the end of the semester - the post-test was done to check the achievements and probable benefits of TED Talks. The experiment results demonstrated the improvement of both groups while it was proved statistically that the experimental group showed better outcomes both in listening comprehension and speaking skills respectively. The questionnaires, distributed among the students, consisted of 5 questions, where they expressed their personal opinions about the e-learning process, and according to which the TED Talks influence on their listening and speaking skills was evaluated. The feedback of the questionnaires proved that the students mostly had a positive attitude concerning engaging TED Talks into the learning process, especially those who were involved in the experiment.

“…This study investigated the effects of integrating TED talks into a pre-service Business English course on university students' listening, reading, writing and speaking skills. The findings indicated significant differences between the experimental and control groups due to the integration of TED talks, which is consistent with prior research on specific skills: listening (Abdulrahman, 2017;Floyd & Jeschull, 2012;Ishinuki, 2014;Park & Cha, 2013;Seung, 2014;Rudneva et al, 2019;Takaesu, 2017;Wingrove, 2017), speaking (Chang & Huang, 2015;Leopold, 2016), reading (Bianchi & Marenzi, 2016;Metruk, 2018) and writing (Hashimoto et al 2015;Wagner, 2011). The present study has shown that TED talks can enhance exposure to Business English and develop and integrate the four skills.…”

“…They come up to the conclusion that TED talks in the ESP classroom may benefit students by "its explicit emphasis on the content" and it gives them a chance "to acquire syntax, lexis, and discourse style skills as a by-product of content-oriented learning" (p. 47). Rudneva, Valeeva, Faizi, Guslyakova, and Nigmatzyanova (2019) investigated the effect of implementing TED talks in the ESP course for undergraduate RUDN University students of the Ecological faculty, where TED talks were used to extend the listening component of the course. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in listening comprehension among the upperintermediate and advanced groups after using the video content.…”
