Oral presentations are common in many English as a foreign language (EFL) classes. Because oral presentations entail multiple steps, they are ideal for project-based learning courses. Yet, it can be challenging for students to meaningfully collaborate on oral presentation projects using English. The use of drama in oral presentations allows students to explore more complex topics without being overwhelmed. A short survey of the literature related to oral presentations and project-based learning in EFL is presented in this article. Then, the basic discourse for oral presentations in English is discussed, followed by an expanded discussion about how drama can simplify this discourse for students. Finally, two examples of student presentations are presented.

A technique for improving the quality of student oral presentations is described. Throughout the semester, students in my History and Systems course delivered minilectures covering specific course content. Peers evaluated their lectures, and students were tested on minilecture information. In a replication, the lectures were videotaped. Lecturers also wrote a paper that elaborated the content of their talks and self-evaluated their performance based on peer feedback and (in the replication) the videotape. The result was a distinct improvement over the typical oral presentation assignment.

The paper presents the results of a study of the opinion of fourth- and eighth-grade primary school students (N=880) on the characteristics of teachers? oral presentation. The main goal is to take into account students? opinion in the new didactic grounding of the monologue teaching method. This implies appreciation of the proven values of applying the monologue method in teaching and its adaptation to suit the needs of modern teaching, first of all, the needs of students. In this context, we think that the perception of the monologue method from students? perspective is very significant in assessing the limitations and the possibilities of its application incurrent conditions. Students described the characteristics of teachers? oral presentation that they liked best and least and provided suggestions on methods of enhancing the oral presentation of teachers. Students gave the most positive assessments to oral presentations that were clear from the linguistic, logical and the didactic and methodological aspects. On the other hand, the majority of students? negative comments were related to inadequate behavior of some teachers as speakers and to ?incomprehensible oral presentation?. The results show that students gave very clear and specific statements on the positive and negative characteristics of teachers? oral presentation, which, in the given didactic context, can be very indicative for the enhancement of this teaching element both for teachers and the didactic experts.
