Abstract

Abstract: There is poverty extreme poverty, in the world, despite increased literacy rates. This means education has fallen short of its promise, because it has left a very large number of human beings deprived of basic needs of existence. In addition, bizarre diseases, related to the aberrations of the mind, have increased considerably over the years, despite the growth of research in medicine. Why is there dissatisfaction with education despite increase in literacy rates and such elaborate discussions throughout the world on how to make learning interesting and effective? The answer to this is obvious. We link education to passing examinations and going to the next class but not to excellence of existence. Teachers rarely realize that knowledge is not power. Thinking does not come automatically to human beings. They can at best manage arbitrary or elementary thinking. Creative and purposeful thinking has to be taught in schools much more than providing random information Key words: education, teaching, literacy

Abstract

Abstract: Task-based learning has generally been implemented for university students. One task type common to especially language students is oral presentation. Giving an oral presentation may seem to be a limited activity, but it actually involves all the language skills. The students should read and write in the preparation, speak in the presentation, and listen and speak in response to questions. This paper presents a study of the students’ perceptions on the use of oral presentation as a teaching and learning technique in the classroom. The participants of the study were 120 undergraduate English Education students of two different courses. The data were collected mainly from the students’ essays, written at the end of semester, on the advantages and disadvantages of using the technique in the classroom. The data were then analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The quantitative analysis was first used for assessing the responses obtained from the essays; and secondly, the qualitative analysis provided the evaluation and interpretation of the figures. The results showed that most students appreciated the use of oral presentation in the classroom because the technique would make them become more responsible and active in their own learning; however, some less-motivated students would focus only on the materials in their own presentations and would not pay enough attention to other students’ presentations. Key words: task, teaching and learning technique, oral presentation
