AUTHORITATIVE METHODS OF TEACHING

Presented by: Ronald Fortaliza

 Lecture is a teaching method where an instructor is

the central focus of information transfer.

The basic purpose of lecturing is the dissemination of

information.

Students are expected to take notes while listening

to the lecture.

Usually, very little exchange occurs between the

instructor and the students during a lecture.

 Lecture is a straightforward way to impart

knowledge to students quickly.

Instructors also have a greater control over what

is being taught in the classroom because they are the sole source of information.

Students who are auditory learners find that

lectures appeal to their learning style.

 Lecture is often easier to create than other

methods of instruction.

Lecture is a method familiar to most teachers

because it was typically the way they were taught.

Because most college courses are lecture-

based, students gain experience in this predominant instructional delivery method.

 Students strong in learning styles other than

auditory learning will have a harder time being engaged by lectures.

Students who are weak in note-taking skills will

have trouble understanding what they should remember from lectures.

Students can find lectures boring causing them

to lose interest.

 Students may not feel that they are able to ask

questions as they arise during lectures.

Teachers may not get a real feel for how much

students understand because there is not that much opportunity for exchanges during lectures.

 Asking and answering questions is a form of

active learning that has a place within any classroom format. students more fully in a lecture, leading to deeper understanding of course material.

Questions asked by the instructor can involve

Questions asked by students offer an

opportunity to clarify material and they also provide feedback for the instructor.

 Textbooks tend to be the main resource

teachers use in deciding what to teach. Most of the time in classrooms tends to be related to them in some way. Very often they are the only resources to which all students have access during a lesson in addition to the teacher. Most problems for students class work and homework are taken from them.

 They provide structure and a syllabus for a program.

Without textbooks a program may have no central core and learners may not receive a syllabus that has been systematically planned and developed. They help standardize instruction. The use of a textbook in a program can ensure that the students in different classes receive similar content and therefore can be tested in the same way. They provide a variety of learning resources. Textbooks are often accompanied by workbooks, CDs and cassettes, videos, CD ROMs, and comprehensive teaching guides, providing a rich and varied resource for teachers and learners.

 They are efficient. They save teachers' time,

enabling teachers to devote time to teaching rather than material's production. They can provide effective language models and input. Textbooks can provide support for teachers whose first language is not English and who may not be able to generate accurate language input on their own. They can train teachers. If teachers have limited teaching experience, a textbook together with the teacher's manual can serve as a medium of initial teacher training.

 They may contain inauthentic language.

Textbooks sometimes present inauthentic language since texts, dialogs and other aspects of content tend to be specially written to incorporate teaching points and are often not representative of real language use.
Textbooks often present an idealized view of the world or fail to represent real issues. In order to make textbooks acceptable in many different contexts controversial topics are avoided and instead an idealized white middle-class view of the world is portrayed as the norm.

They may distort content.
