S ummary . This paper describes some recent findings on style of lecturing derived from a study of 258 lecturers in two English universities. Factor analysis yielded six scales for identifying approaches to lecturing. Subsequent cluster analysis yielded five distinctive types of lecturers' styles. The styles were associated significantly with subject area, marginally with status but not with years of experience.
