- Summary:
-
Lecturing is essentially a form of public communication. Hence public speaking literature can be used to learn more about how to improve lecturing skills. The following objectives can help the lecturer be effective: (1) exercising/gaining control of the class; (2) highlighting major ideas; (3) setting the stage for forthcoming activities; (4) showing one's own interest and enthusiasm for the subject; and (5) providing a role model of good public communication skills. As with any teaching method, there can be pitfalls. The lecturer can try to cover too much material; fail to prepare adequately; be perceived as disorganized or unclear; inadvertently encourage student passivity; ignore student feedback; fail to formulate good examples; and display distracting or poor delivery. There are, however, several ways for people to improve as lecturers, such as acknowledging/dealing with speech anxiety; anticipating the teaching environment; planning carefully for each lecture; combining lecturing with other teaching techniques; organizing the lecture according to sound principles of speech construction; using visual aids when appropriate; delivering the lecture extemporaneously; demonstrating respect for student reactions; and seeking feedback on teaching.
