Lecture method is the oldest method of teaching.

This method refers to the explanation of the topic to


the students. This method is useful in large classes, but it also has some limitations. This method makes
the students passive listeners. There is very little scope for students activity. Though this method has
much limitation but still it is the most used method. The lecture method can be made effective by using
following points matter should be arranged properly. Teacher should have process in between the
lesson. These should be abundant repetition of the topic. The teacher should encourage the students to
ask questions teaching aids should also be used to make the lecture effective.

Bligh(2000), he mention that lectures can efficiently disseminate foundational knowledge.That


instructors can use lectures to help BTVTED student tos easily acquire knowledge of terms, basic facts,
and simple concepts. Lectures are as effective, but not more effective, than other methods in
transmitting simple information.Lectures can demonstrate academic skills, methods, and
dispositions.Lecture method can be a way to model attitudes and behaviors the instructor values, such
as careful weighing of evidence, presentation of argument and counterargument, and demonstration of
how the subject has personal meaning.

In BTVTED courses,Lectures method are one of the most common teaching strateies that they are using
in teaaching BTVTED students. It has been suggested that teachingmethods that enhance engagement
and encourage self-directed learning can be effective in delivering core knowledge and explaining
difficult concepts (process, theory,defenation) leading to increased learning . Lectures method were
perceived by the students as the most and common effective method used, yet involving students
actively within the lecture time was regarded as a more effective learning tool .Most of the time lectures
have the advantage of sharing information with a large number of students and it can be effective in
transmitting factual information.

Alaagib (2019), mentioned in his study that whether lecture effective or not, is still the most commonly
used learning method as it is an economical and practical method, especially when the number
ofstudents is large and the available resources are limited.He mentioned that, for an effective learning
educationalists must change theiruse of the lecture time and make use of methods and techniques in
which students are more active, communicating and collaborating for learning, with evaluation of the
effectiveness of these methods by the students on their learning. Interactive lecture is an example of
how knowledge about meaningful learning can be implemented in the lecture hall . In interactive lecture
students are asked to actively participate and process knowledge throughout the lecture. They also take
an active part in contextualizing the content and directingthe focus of the lecture towards areas they
find difficultto understand
