How it's used
Focuses specifically on formal academic or scholarly presentations rather than general teaching or casual speaking. It is typically used in professional contexts to describe a guest lecturer or a visiting scholar invited to share expertise. While it involves speaking, it carries a weight of authority and intellectual depth that distinguishes it from simply teaching a class.
