Abstract

In today’s global era, students need more than just good English language skills. They also need to understand basic legal knowledge to help them become responsible and informed citizens. English language skills also broaden their career paths. This study examines how legal topics, such as human rights, employment law, and online safety, can be integrated into English language learning. By combining English lessons with simple legal content, students can improve their language skills while also learning about important real-world issues. This approach helps students think critically, speak confidently, and prepare themselves for life and work in a global society. This study used a qualitative method by analyzing teaching materials and interviewing English teachers and students at the university level. The results showed that students became more interested and active when English lessons were linked to legal topics that they could understand.

Abstract

Oral presentations are often used in English courses to improve speaking skills. However, there is still little research about how students see their benefits in building speaking confidence, especially in university settings. This study aims to explore university students’ perceptions of the benefits of oral presentations in English classes. Even though oral presentations can help improve speaking skills, many students still face challenges such as low confidence, anxiety, limited vocabulary, and difficulty in organizing ideas. This research used a descriptive qualitative method with interviews, observations, and documentation as the main data sources. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to find common patterns. The results show that the main factors affecting students’ oral presentations are speaking anxiety, lack of vocabulary, little experience in public speaking, and fear of making mistakes. To deal with these problems, students used strategies such as repeated practice, using media, managing time, and getting support from lecturers and peers. This study shows the importance of oral presentations in developing speaking confidence and suggests that teachers need to provide better strategies to support students in English learning.
