The lecture method is the most common form of teaching in institutions of higher education throughout the world, and is likely to continue to be so. In this article aspects of lecturing are explored. Attention is given to explaining and to other strategies of lecturing and to the possibility of demarcating certain lecturing styles. The findings are based on an empirical study involving a Likert-type questionnaire in which some 200 university teachers were involved. The items of the Lecturing Styles Questionnaire (LSQ) can provide (in the view of the author) a useful approach to self-assessment of lecturing skills and to the formulation of a lecturing self-profile. Coupled with feedback from students on their perceptions of the lecturer's presentation, the lecture as a teaching method can be much improved
