Popis: Of all the strategies used in our teaching practice, lecture is perhaps one of the most common. Although we have acknowledged the pedagogical value of lecture, the traditional didactic format is usually a passive learning experience for students and it fails to engage them. As the lecture will remain a necessary method of teaching in education, we should enhance it, not drop it. One of the most effective methods to transform students from passive to active learners is to integrate lectures with various interactive strategies. This article aims to describe four interactive lecture strategies: connecting students’ prior knowledge to the objective of a lecture, organizing a lecture in a proper sequence, using different audiovisual devices, and providing opportunities to students to practice what they have learned. Since these strategies are simple, junior educators with little or no pedagogical training can use them with no loss of content or time.
