Lecture


 * Lecture**

A lecture is an oral presentation of information during which the learner is responsible for taking appropriate notes. A lecture provides an opportunity for students to develop and practise listening and note-taking skills. This teacher/presenter-centred format is well suited to transmit information within time constraints and to provide whole groups with structured knowledge or step-by-step skill instruction. Lectures appeal to auditory learners, and to visual learners when visual learning aids accompany the oral presentation.
 * Description**

The teacher: • organizes, plans, and delivers information to be presented; • provides a classroom environment conducive to listening; • provides various structures to assist students in developing listening and note-taking skills; • models a variety of note-taking strategies, such as an anticipation guide or mind map.
 * Method**

Lectures: • tend to limit student participation and active involvement; may be difficult for ESL students or those with limited vocabulary (and may benefit from the use of visuals in such cases).
