Data were collected through semi-structured interview to understand students’ perceptions on the presentation towards their speaking skills, future plans, and the overall impact of oral presentations on their speaking performance. The findings show that most students perceive oral presentations as a beneficial strategy for improving their speaking skills. They reported improvements in fluency, vocabulary, pronunciation, and self-confidence. However, some challenges were identified, including anxiety, limited experience, and time constraints. In conclusion, oral presentations are generally viewed as an effective tool for enhancing students’ speaking abilities.
