Integration of CLILthrough TED Talks: AnApproach to Enhance VocabularyAcquisition among ESLLearners

English as a language plays a major role in various fields like education, business, international relations and travel. As
a result, English Language Teaching (ELT) has been evolving significantly with various methods to enhance learners’profi
ciency. Vocabulary acquisition is one of the fundamental components in ELT because it enables learners to communicate
effectively. Over the years, a wide range of strategies has been employed to help the learners enrich their vocabulary level.
With the rapid advancement of technology, the process of teaching and learning became more engaging, interactive and
accessible. This research aims to analyse the effectiveness of integrating Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL)
through TED Talks to enhance the vocabulary acquisition among English as Second Language (ESL) learners. CLIL allows
the learners to gain both subject knowledge and language skills simultaneously, while TED Talks is a great resource which
contains videos comprising diverse topics that help in language enhancement. The study utilized quantitative research
design as the methodology to evaluate how the learners efficiently learn the content along with the enrichment of vocabulary.
ESL Learners were selected as the participants and they were further divided into two groups namely, the control, the
experimental. Both the groups took a pre-test to assess their initial vocabulary level. After a period of intervention, a
post-test was conducted to evaluate their progress. The pre-test and post-test data were analysed using SPSS software. Theresults revealed that infusion of CLIL with TED talks efficaciously upgrades vocabulary level compared to the tradi
tional CLIL approach.
