Abstract
Numerous polls have been undertaken to recognise public speaking as a number one concern among undergraduates in University Technology Mara when involved in English courses. This is regardless of the fact the university offers ample opportunities for students to develop their public speaking skills. If public speaking is a struggle in the sense of a native English speaker, then the fear of enhancing sustainable oral presentations in English to non-native English speakers is understandably greater. Nevertheless, speaking in English in front of an audience is increasingly seen as a valuable ability for ESL/EFL learners to develop and that is why public speaking courses in many Malaysian university programs are increasingly seen as a key component. According to research conducted by the Ministry of Education as a result of internationalisation policies, public universities in Malaysia have switched to the English language as their medium of instruction. Public speaking is offered as a university prerequisite course in many of these universities, making it compulsory for many students. Students are apprehensive, however about public speaking in English. The present study explores public-speaking apprehension in a public university among Malay learners of English. This study entailed a quantitative research paradigm on a sample of 30 lecturers who will interviewed using an interview pool. Data will be transcribed after the interview. This thesis aims to define techniques for the improvement of public speaking competences for adult ESL learners. Employees in the field at all various levels usually require good oral communication.

In the proposed National Education Blueprint 2013-2025, learning the English language is an important element to ensure that Malaysia stays competitive both in the country and worldwide and has increased significantly in the recent years. A population that is fluent in the English language is important for this. A request to take courses based on instruction As a Second Language in English (ESL) has risen dramatically and is deemed necessary to satisfy students' educational needs. Universities are at the forefront of ensuring that their learners can work successfully in the English language to fulfil these criteria.
