Shortcomings of Lecture StrategyIt pays little or almost no attention to the needs, interest and ability of the students.One sided process.Not applicable in all subjectsTime consuming.It is successful only when verbal communication is understood and grasped by the listener with the same speed.If the lecture is fast, listeners wont be able to note down down the content

Technique of LectureRapport Voice: clear and natural tone of voiceGestureEye contactLecture outlines and students notes

Guidelines for Improving lecture StrategyIt includes three stages :Planning stage ,Presentation stage,Evaluation stage

Planning StageThe purpose and goal of lecture should be properly identified.The nature of learner as well as their learning potential should be identified.The teacher should have mastery over the subject matter and contents which he/she is going to deliver in classroom.Consult useful books, journals and books other than the prescribed textbooks for preparing lecturePlan and develop your lecture by identifying a few key concepts. Choose appropriate.Always use various techniques like questions-answer ,use of blackboard , display material and AV aids etcPresentation StageMotivate your students for attending lecture .Show your enthusiasm for the teaching and keep your students fresh.The subject matter, style and language of lecture should be communicable from the angle of the students.Communication so it should not be too fast and too slow., give examples, change tone, adequate passing, using gestures and physical moments.Make your presentation interesting and understanding . Do not waste your time in irrelevant facts and unrequired detailed information. Do not turn your lecturing into mere paper reading and notes dictation.Always encourage and involve the students for active participation.Try to summarize key points of presented material at the end of the lecture .Evaluation StageA teacher may evaluate the outcomes of his lecturing any time during his lecture as and when he feels need for doing so.Always keep in mind the goals of teaching and evaluate them.He must try to monitor , control and evaluate progress of teaching by maintaining a proper flow of question answer. Task can be performed orally or by writing on board or by asking students. assess the effectiveness of teaching by seeking openion of the studentsPreparation of Lecture Materials
