Difficulties in giving English oral presentations faced by English – Majored students at Thang Long University

Abstract

Making a presentation is one of the most popular activities in the classes of the English department at Thang Long University. However, many students are unable to deliver a good presentation. They often feel worried or extremely anxious when orally presenting their ideas in English in front of their instructors and classmates, and their performances are certainly not interesting or impressive enough to attract the audience. Therefore, the researchers conducted this research with the main goal of finding out common problems faced by English-majored students when giving an oral presentation at Thang Long University. It is hoped that this research can be helpful not only for students but also for teachers in upgrading presentation activities.
