The idea
Lecture is efficient, models enthusiasm and is low-risk for students; it is as effective as other methods for acquiring information, though not more effective, and listeners are active constructors, not empty vessels.
In practice
A well-organized twenty-minute lecture efficiently introduces a new unit's key ideas.
Where people slip
Lecture is less effective than discussion for promoting thought and changing attitudes.
