Instructional Technique (4 Parts)

Synopsis

1: Introduces the specific techniques. Shows five instructors presenting different lessons using model-and-chalkboard and overhead projector; workshop demonstration; workshop practice; role playing exercises using video equipment. Shows the planning, preparation and presentation that go into achieving an apparently effortless performance.
2: Defines the strategy a good instructor uses. The keey to planning is to know the subject, know the learners, and know the objective. These factors must be carefully considered, and the instructor must have in mind an idea of the signs of success.
3: Shows how to organise the lesson logically into main points and support of main points. How should each point be put over? Should it be explained, demonstrated, practised or discussed? What aids are required? What is the lesson plan?
4: Stresses style in presentation: the importance of personal appearance and bearing, good manners, answering questions. There is also technique in presenting the lesson - the need for a proper introduction, using the aids effectively, question-and-answer technique, timing and summary.
