CHANGING EDUCATION PARADIGMS

Why are these videos here, on the blog devoted to IELTS preparation? 

First of all, watching these videos, you feel great excitement, you are amazed and, I would say, fascinated by the way this outstanding man speaks, his deep understanding of the educational process, his vision of the changes that must be done in the field. His sense of humour is awesome, making a motivational frame for his ideas. Sir Robinson's charisma makes the videos immensely encouraging for your creativity, awakening your thoughts. I guess, not all your teachers of English are so charismatic, have similar vast international eperience. It's a great chance for you to learn from one of the best teachers of the world. And, as additional bonus, you are broadening not only your horizons in the educational field, but in other areas as well.  

Second, while watching, you practice listening. Any time you can pause the video and look up an unknown word in a dictionary, if need. You can develop your active vocabulary quickly and with pleasure on the wave of your inspiration and enthusiasm. The videos are always available, so whenever you have some time to revise the vocabulary, the content, the ideas, even the pronunciation, wherever you have the Internet, you can do it.

And the last but not least, you are absorbing ideas that can be useful for you when you are preparing for any English Language exam. 

Sir Ken Robinson touches different areas of human life, while speaking. You can find fantastic the ideas to speak about education, attitude to life, relations, etc. If you agree with them (and my understanding,  it's impossible  not to agree as the thoughts are delivered on a luxury plate of reserved charismatic awareness of the person's experience and flavored with precise and to-the-point examples), you can pick them for your essays (education, learning English, school life, improvements to make at school, college, university, etc.), for your speaking sessions (as for IELTS, the topics on education, improvements, your school years are very frequent).

When writing an essay (Academic IELTS Part 2), when answering the examiner's questions (Part 1, Part 3, IELTS speaking), when developing your speech based on a cue card (IELTS Speaking Part 2), YOU NEED SOMETHING TO SPEAK ABOUT, the ideas, arguments. Some of you feel lack of them, don’t you?

You can find them in a great number in Sir Robinson's videos. 

I would strongly recommend you to include the videos in your IELTS preparation schedules.

Have a pleasant and beneficial time!
