The Reality of English Presentation Skills of English-majored Students in Vietnam: A Case Study at Van Lang University
2022, The Reality of English Presentation Skills of English-majored Students in Vietnam: A Case Study at Van Lang University
Presentation skills play an indispensable role in undergraduates' education and developing their future careers because this skill assists college students in accomplishing a superior knowledge base and enhancing their public speaking. The study aims to measure English-majored students' reality at the Faculty of Foreign Languages of Van Lang University in Vietnam about speaking skills, especially presentation skills. The quantitative study has been carried out among 600 second-year, third-year, and four-year students at the Faculty of Foreign Languages of Van Lang University in Vietnam. The results of the research paper demonstrated that most students were not confident about their presentation skills because of making mistakes about vocabulary usage, grammar, fluency, and so on when giving presentations. EFL lecturers can consider the results to improve their teaching methods regarding speaking skills and find out more strategies to solve students' speaking challenges.

The study aims to find out the perception, attitude, and practice of English presentation skills of first-year English students from the Faculty of Foreign Language Teacher Education and the Faculty of English at The University of Danang-University of Foreign Language Studies (hereafter called EFL students for brief) as well as to propose appropriate solutions to assist them. Data were collected from 200 questionnaires, and the analysis of the in-depth interviews was conducted with 10 student informants and observations of 30 students in total. The findings showed that most students were familiar with English presentation skills. Also, they were aware of the importance of presentation skills and agreed on the necessity for a successful presentation. Knowledge was what caused participants the most difficulties during the preparation stage, and when presenting, students struggled the most not to replicate the textbook word-by-word. To solve these problems, several solutions were discu...

Mastering speaking is one of the biggest goals of students learning English. However, facing speaking difficulties is unavoidable. Impressively, the oral presentation is an effective solution or exercise for improving speaking. This study aims to determine non-English majors’ speaking difficulties and reveal their attitudes toward utilizing oral presentation to overcome speaking difficulties in English classrooms in a university in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam, particularly at Tra Vinh University. Two questionnaires were used to collect the data from 68 first-year students. According to the results, when speaking, students found it difficult to express themselves effectively in English, to communicate in English without preparation, and to create or engage in an English conversation. For the positive impacts of oral presentations on speaking, the responders in this research pointed out that they had the motivation to speak English, formed and participated in an English conversation e...

Speaking skills is one of the four major language skills that most language learners desire to master in order to communicate effectively in different contexts. It is important to determine main factors hindering learners to speak English fluently. In order to achieve the aim of discovering and analyzing the problems in learning speaking skills faced by English major students at Ba Ria-Vung Tau University (BVU), 65 students participated in this study by completing the questionnaire made by the researcher. The result reveals that the dominant problems these students often encounter are associated with linguistic problems and non-linguistic problems. Although students have striven to deal with their learning speaking problems, but their attempts seem to be unsuccessful. Therefore, some recommendations in the light of findings are also presented in this paper.

This study examined the interplay among self-confidence, teacher feedback, and English proficiency in terms of developing students' English oral presentation competence. The study involved learners in the fields of Sciences and Technology, and Humanities and Social Science (N=390; 75% female; 26% male). It looked at how presentation courses, which are structured to include various stages of presentation preparation as well as teacher feedback over the course of a semester (12 weeks), can help Thai EFL students improve their self-confidence and oral presenting skills. The collected data consisted of students' presentation scores, results of an English proficiency test, and survey data concerning students' self-confidence and teacher feedback regarding students' presentation performances. The data analyses involved descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), independent t-tests, one-way ANOVA, multiplelinear regression, and mediation analysis. The results revealed 1) two underlying factors regarding self-confidence, are situational and potential confidence and communication confidence, and one underlying factor regarding teacher feedback, named perceived teacher feedback practice and 2) English proficiency as the only significant predictor of students' presentation performance. Although it may seem intuitive that English proficiency scores are a strong predictor, this study indicates that students' self-confidence and instructor evaluation have no direct link to students' English presentation performance, which was perhaps unanticipated. The small effects of self-confidence and instructor feedback are likely due to the large number of low-level students in the study. Additionally, variables such as student gender and field of study did not make significant differences. This study contributes to the development of research in the area of oral presentations in English. Aunque puede parecer intuitivo que los puntajes de dominio del inglés son un fuerte predictor, este estudio indica que la autoconfianza de los estudiantes y la evaluación del instructor no tienen un vínculo directo con el desempeño en las presentaciones en inglés de los estudiantes, lo cual quizás no fue anticipado. Los pequeños efectos de la confianza en uno mismo y la retroalimentación del instructor probablemente se deban a la gran cantidad de estudiantes de bajo nivel en el estudio. Además, variables como el sexo del alumno y el campo de estudio no presentaron diferencias significativas. Este estudio contribuye al desarrollo de la investigación en el área de presentaciones orales en inglés.
