Developing Students' Self-Confidence, Thought Processes, and Oratory Skills at Unidad Educativa Charter Salesiana San José

Abstract

The significance of oratory skills in an individual’s personal and professional life is profoundly impactful. Oratory is not merely a means of communication; it is a powerful tool that can influence one's self-confidence, interpersonal relationships, and overall success. This research aims how to boost students' self-confidence in oratory skills, thereby enhancing their active participation, resilience in making mistakes, and overall proficiency in English. A mixed-method convergent design was applied, with a survey and a semi-structured interview. The findings suggest that well-developed public speaking skills lead to a significant increase in self-confidence levels, thereby enriching the student's academic and personal lives by providing them with the chance to learn a second language. Furthermore, this research aims to make a significant contribution to the educational approach and similar institutions by providing empirical support for the integration of oratory skills training into the curriculum as the most important, thereby promoting a holistic educational environment.
