Abstract
TED Talks represent an inspiring platform for teaching and learning both public speaking and global citizenship which both represent highly important factors of functioning in our globalized modern society. With the aim to find out whether watching and analysing TED Talks during ESP classes facilitate public speaking skills and global citizenship a questionnaire survey was conducted involving first and second year bachelor students at VilniusTech. This survey showed that a vast majority of students enjoy watching TED Talks and given so many benefits of the TED Talks in terms of facilitating public speaking skills and promoting global citizenship that were strongly supported and illustrated by the survey results, we tend to conclude that TED Talks facilitate public speaking skills and help to foster global citizenship in ESP classroom and we could highly recommend integrating them as a language learning method.
