SPECIFIC TEACHING METHODS
We can now consider a number of specific methods which can be drawn from in the course of
classroom instruction. It is however, important to note that the choice
of any form of methods
should not be arbitrary, but needs to be governed by the criteria we have already examined. At the
same time each method is not fool-proof, but has its own advantages and disadvantages. That is
why I would recommend the use of complementary methods rather than one method.
1. LECTURE METHOD
A lecture is an oral presentation of information by the instructor. It is the method of relaying
factual information
which includes principles, concepts,
ideas and all
THEORETICAL
KNOWLEDGE
about a given topic. In a lecture the instructor tells, explains,
describes or relates
whatever information the trainees are required to learn through listening and understanding. It is
therefore teacher-centered. The instructor is very active, doing all the talking.
Trainees on the
other hand are very inactive, doing all the listening. Despite the popularity of lectures, the lack of
active involvement of trainees limits its usefulness as a method of instruction.
