The term phonological is new to me.

Didn't know that groups of 6-8 is most efficient.

Learned general awareness of positioning, floating, eye contact, voice volume from point of view of student/audience/viewers, etc.

Interesting the attention span of 15-18 minutes, retention of  25% of what we heard, 40% of what we read, comprehend 5-7 items.  These are valuable data when planning a lecture or presentation.

I am having trouble imagining listening 4X "faster" than speaking. ???

The first class session sets the tone .

I like to be prepared and organized before making a presentation.  Research on topic done, sequence of course content, able to give interesting examples, etc.  I always feel much more confident when I know what I'm talking about.  I find it easier to explain something if I have learned it myself.
