The actual English presentation capabilities of non-English majored students in Vietnam: A case study at Dong Nai Technology University

Abstract

Presentation abilities are crucial to undergraduate education and the advancement of future employment because they help college students build a stronger foundation of knowledge and improve their presentation skills. The purpose of the study is to gauge the speaking abilities, particularly presenting abilities of non-English majors at Dong Nai Technology University. 600 non-English majored students participated in the quantitative study. The results of the study revealed that most students were insecure about their abilities to present since they regularly made mistakes with grammar, vocabulary, fluency, and other presentation-related issues. Lecturers in EFL can use the findings to enhance their presentation teaching approach and suggest some solutions for learners’ communication barriers.
