Effective Lecturing: Communicating and presenting subject content

by Andreas Rupp

Overview

Knowledge exchange is a unique cultural and cognitive ability of humans, enabling cooperative action, expanding knowledge through shared experience. Andreas Rupp takes us through the basics of communication and provides examples for educators of effective lecturing skills and interactive approaches to help students better absorb, process, and retain information.

Effective Lecturing discusses methods such as small group work, the case study method, and controlled group discussions as ways to make lectures interactive and thus improve motivation and retention performance.

Finally, the author presents his "Interactive and adaptive teaching of subject content" training program, which combines teaching and learning methods to consider and mitigate for the myriad and varied abilities and skill levels of learners across our classrooms and lecture halls.

Editorial Reviews

The book ‘Effective lecturing’ explains the most important concepts, skills and abilities for knowledge transfer, which are often neglected by us university lecturers. The content of the book is scientific, professional, comprehensive and clearly structured and written. It is very easy to find your way around while reading and you will discover valuable information. I recommend the book for all teachers, trainers and those interested in the subject.” —Yuhan Huang, Assistant Professor, Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, Canton, China

“I am pleased to strongly recommend ‘Effective lecturing’. This book not only very successfully presents a case for lecturing, emphasising student engagement, but also highlights macro and micro level skills required to lecture well, providing clear principles and examples. The exercises provided are extremely valuable for those wishing to fully understand the value of the book.” —Ramon Lewis, Emeritus Professor, School of Education, La Trobe University, Bundoora, Victoria 3086, AUSTRALIA Author of the Developmental Management Approach to Classroom Behavior: Responding to individual Needs.

“Unlike most books on teaching, this book focuses on research- based teaching methods that are perfect for anyone learning how to teach or who wants to refine their teaching skills. ‘Effective lecturing’ is a perfect book that explains the research behind each strategy and the strategy itself in a way that makes it easier for anyone to understand.” —Kent Divoll, Associate Professor, College of Education, University of Houston- Clear Lake.
