lectures
Classroom spoken lessons
Lectures are formal talks given to instruct an audience, typically in academic settings: The professor's lectures on medieval history drew large crowds.
A lecture can also be a lengthy scolding or moralizing speech: I got a lecture from my mom about staying out too late.
To lecture is to deliver such talks, or to reprimand at length.
