Different talks about english and languages.
http://www.ted.com/talks/jay_walker_on_the_world_s_english_mania.html
Biologist Mark Pagel shares an intriguing theory about why humans evolved our complex system of language. He suggests that language is a piece of "social technology" that allowed early human tribes to access a powerful new tool: cooperation.

Patricia Kuhl: The linguistic genius of babies
Patricia Kuhl shares astonishing findings about how babies learn one language over another -- by listening to the humans around them and "taking statistics" on the sounds they need to know. Clever lab experiments (and brain scans) show how 6-month-old babies use sophisticated reasoning to understand their world.

Patricia Ryan: Don't insist on English!
In her talk, longtime English teacher Patricia Ryan asks a provocative question: Is the world's focus on English preventing the spread of great ideas in other languages? (For instance: what if Einstein had to pass the TOEFL?) It's a passionate defense of translating and sharing ideas
Jay Walker explains why two billion people around the
world are trying to learn English. He shares photos and spine-tingling
audio of Chinese students rehearsing English -- "the world's second
language" -- by the thousands.
