Individual Lectures

Individual Lectures or Extempore:-

In Army life, the army officer should lead his men and materials with good lectures. Since speaking is an art so that great people in history such as Adolf Hitler, John F Kenney ruled their region successfully. The lecture given the officer in service should give confidence to the team members, so that the team members should get confidence by heart to follow his leader or officer. So it is also an important task at the G.T.O.

The duration, in which the candidate has to talk, is 3 minutes.

Expectation from G.T.O in lecture:-
In this lecture the G.T.O notices about the candidate clarity of thought, power of expression, depth of knowledge, confidence level.



Rules of the Lecture:-


· The students are ordered to sit in a semi circle. The G.T.O will sit behind the candidates.(i.e. behind the semi circle arch)
· Then the G.T.O will place a group of cards in front of the candidates.
· The students are ordered to take one card from that bunch and given three minutes to prepare about the topic.
· The choices of topic in the card are three.(one is toughest, next one is normal and the third one is easiest)
· While the first chest number (in ascending order) the next one is given time to prepare for his topic. (He has chosen his card and topic)
· At the end of 2.30 minutes out of 3 minutes the G.T.O will give a warning bell so that the candidate who is speaking should sum up his points.
· Also that bell is also intimation to the preparing candidate to prepare well since time is less.


Things to note down while extempore:-
The important thing to note down while giving lecture is body language and how we are giving our topic to the audience.



Body Language:-

Tie your hand behind you. Since this helps us to avoid mannerisms through hand.

See all the audience i.e. team members and don’t look to the G.T.O.
Keep little smile and don’t make it as a fake one. Else better give the lecture normally.
Don’t shake the legs while speaking also don’t stand in stiff manner. Keep yourself ease and cool.
See this picture for clarification


How to choose the topic for Lecture:-
There will be three topic in that lecture card. One will be of more tough, the other will be common one and the third will of very easy one. It is not a matter to choose which type and all. But if you choose a topic you should be able to sum up your points within those three minutes of time.



Giving of Lecture:-
The time given is of three minutes, let we divide the time first.

Initiation of the topic – First 30 seconds.
Getting into the topic (Giving pros and cons of the topic) – 30 seconds to 2.30 minutes.
Conclusion of the topic (Summing up all the points) – last 30 seconds.


Preparation for Individual lecture:-
No extra preparation is needed for lecture, instead if you prepare for the G.D as I stated earlier in the starting of this page. Only one special thing choose any topic and try to get valuable points with pros and cons in a short period of time (3 minutes)

Also stand before the mirror and start to speak to avoid stammering while speaking.
