Abstract

This paper investigates EFL students’ perceived learning difficulties in English public speaking by a novel approach to data analysis. Great speech footages were taken online and used as a means of introducing visual perceptions of 9 speaking skills defined as the student competence in English public speaking. 26 students studied these videos; AHP- weighted GRA method was then applied to analyze the data of students’ perceptions of speech ability difficulties and sorted the data in order. Finally, GRA results were rearranged in an S-P chart format, which clearly represented the students’ cognitive mapping of the speech difficulties in relation to their overall speech conceptualization.
