What is the Lecture Method?
• The word lecture comes from the Latin word lectus, from the 14th
century, which translates roughly into “to read.” The term lecture,
then, in Latin, means “that which is read.” It wasn’t until the 16th
century that the word was used to describe oral instruction given by a
teacher in front of an audience of learners.
• Today, lecturing is a teaching method that involves, primarily, an oral
presentation given by an instructor to a body of students.
• Many lectures are accompanied by some sort of visual aid, such as a
slideshow, a word document, an image, or a film.
• Some teachers may even use a whiteboard or a chalkboard to
emphasize important points in their lecture, but a lecture doesn’t
require any of these things in order to qualify as a lecture.
Advantages of the Lecture Method
• Lectures are the cultural norm of adult education.
• Lectures do not require extensive preparation.
• Lectures permit efficient coverage of content in a limited time.
• Lectures can reach a large group at the same time.
• Great lecturers inspire their listeners.
• Lecturers believe they are in control.
• Learners know how to listen and take notes.
• Learners do not waste their time sharing their ignorance with each
other.
• It provides an economical and efficient method for delivering
substantial amounts of information to large numbers of student.
Disadvantages of lecture method
• It is difficult to adapt to individual learning differences.
• It may fail to promote active learning unless other teaching strategies,
such as questioning and problem-solving activities, are incorporated
into the lecture.
• It does not promote independent learning.
Uses of audio visual aids in
presentations
Visual aids are items of a visual manner, such as graphs, photographs, video clips etc used in
addition to spoken information. Visual aids are chosen depending on their purpose, for example,
you may want to:
• Summarise information.
• Reduce the amount of spoken words, for example, you may show a graph of your results rather
than reading
• Clarify and show examples.
• Create more of an impact, for example, if your presentation is on the health risks of smoking, you
may show images of the effects of smoking on the body rather than describing this
• Emphasise what you're saying.
• Make a point memorable.
• Enhance your credibility.
• Engage the audience and maintain their interest.
• Make something easier for the audience to understand.
 Preparation
• Think about how can a visual aid support your message. What do you want the
audience to do?
• Ensure that your visual aid follows what you're saying or this will confuse the
audience.
• Visual aids must be clear, concise and of a high quality.
• Keep the style consistent, such as, the same font, colours, positions etc
• Use graphs and charts to present data.
• The audience should not be trying to read and listen at the same time
• One message per visual aid, for example, on a slide there should only be one key
point.
• Use visual aids in moderation - they are additions meant to emphasise and
support main points.
• Ensure that your presentation still works without your visual aids in case of
technical problems.
• Practice using the visual aids in advance and ask friends and colleagues for
feedback. Ask them whether they can clearly see the visual aid and how they
During the presentation

• Ensure that the visual aids can be seen by everyone in the audience.
• Face the audience most of the time rather than the image.
• Avoid reading from the visual aid.
• As soon as you show the visual aid the audience's attention will be
drawn to it so you must immediately explain it. You will be ignored if
you talk about something else.
• Make it clear to the audience why you are using it.
• When you no longer need the visual aid ensure that the audience
can't see it.
 Planning
• Why are you doing the talk? Be clear about your purpose
• Find out how big your audience is likely to be & what sort of
group
• Make notes about your subject
• Don’t write your talk word for word
• Use small pieces of paper and number them
• Powerpoint has a notes & timing feature which may help
• Time your talk & practice it
• Then practice it again
