Abstract: This study was directed toward ascertaining students' perceived usefulness of integrating TED Talks for the cognitive and affective aspects of learning English as a foreign language. Employing a quantitative research design with a survey questionnaire, data were collected using the framework of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) which measured three aspects: perceived usefulness of using TED Talks, perceived usefulness for cognitive aspects, and perceived usefulness for affective aspects. The survey included 16 items, measured using a Likert scale of 1-4, and was completed by 250 English Education Department students in ten different universities from four islands in Indonesia: Java, Kalimantan, Sumatra, and Nusa Tenggara. The data revealed that the students had positive perceptions of the integration of TED Talks towards the cognitive and affective aspects with the index scores ranging from 77 to 82.3. The findings strongly indicated that integrating TED Talks can improve students' listening and speaking skills in addition to their motivation and confidence.
