Abstract
Abstract The main aim of this research was to describe the students’ self-perceived and actual performance in making oral presentations. The study employed a mixed method research design and involved an intact class of 40 Business Faculty undergraduates taking an ESL (English as a Second Language) course in a local university in Malaysia. Data was collected using a self-constructed and expert-validated needs analysis questionnaire, oral presentation tests and semi-structured interviews. The results indicated that there were discrepancies between the actual performance scores and students’ self- evaluation marks for all the four skills. Thus, when designing a course outline, educators needs to focus more on those areas in order to improve the students’ oral presentation skills.
