Abstract
This research aims to analyze the issue of delivering an oral presentation and the undergraduates’ perceptions. The study intends to examine ESL undergraduates’ perceptions of oral presentation performances and to view any statistical correlation between the undergraduates’ assessments of oral presentations and their perceptions of presenting their performances. This study was conducted with 242 undergraduates at Universiti Malaysia Pahang, Malaysia. A quantitative approach was implemented to attain the aims of the study. The findings indicate that ESL undergraduates possess a positive perception of delivering oral presentations. Furthermore, it revealed a weak positive relationship between the ESL undergraduates’ perception and their oral presentation assessments. This study is significant as the issue of understanding the importance of the ESL undergraduates’ perception will help lecturers as well as undergraduates in developing strategies that could be fruitful to enhance the undergraduates’ oral presentation skills.
