Lecionar

Lecionar is a Portuguese verb that translates to "to teach" or "to lecture" in English. It specifically refers to the act of imparting knowledge or instruction, often in an academic setting. The term is commonly used in the context of formal education, such as in schools, universities, and other educational institutions. A person who leciona is known as a lecionador, which translates to a teacher or lecturer.

The act of lecionar involves more than just delivering information. It encompasses planning lessons, preparing materials, explaining concepts, facilitating discussions, and assessing student learning. Teachers who lecionam are expected to possess subject matter expertise, pedagogical skills, and the ability to engage and motivate their students. The verb can also be used in a broader sense to describe the act of instructing or guiding someone in any field, not strictly limited to academic disciplines. For instance, one might say they lecionam guitar, meaning they teach guitar. The root of the word comes from the Latin "lectionem," meaning "reading," which historically relates to the practice of reading aloud to students.
