Attitudes among International University Students in Delivering English Oral Presentation in Academic Settings

Abstract

This paper outlines, in the pilot study, the results of a survey that carried out so as to
identify the international university students’ attitudes in delivering oral presentation in English
language in academic settings. 30 non-English major university students who were targeted, in
this research, to figure out what attitudes had pertaining to English oral presentation. They were
divided into three groups according to their ages. Frequency and ANOVA were used in
analyzing the data. The study indicates that students are willing to deliver an oral presentation
in English language. They intend to be involved in various activities related to oral presentation
in English language as well. However, students were almost reluctant to reveal a plain attitude
towards presenting in English language. Also, it is found that, there is no statistically significant
difference in their attitudes based on their ages in delivering oral presentation in English
language in academic context.
