The Effect of Peer Feedback on Improving English Presentation Skills

This study aims to investigate students’ needs and attitude for English Presentation course and whether peer feedback have positive effects on developing their English presentation skills and ability. Participants are 52 university students who are enrolled in English Presentation course and their English proficiency are intermediate level. Ten presenters volunteerly participated in the peer evaluation session. Data collection was conducted in three-folds: 1) questionnaire survey, 2) two peer evaluation and feedback for two times of presentations, 3) presenters’ self-reflection paper after first presentation. Also, students had a training session regarding the purpose of feedback and how to give their feedback. The results of questionnaire survey show that learners feel high anxiety and low confidence on the English presentation, especially on any chance of improvised presentation. Also, they consider their peers as competitors, so their high tension and anxiety result from comparing their English proficiency with other students’. The analysis of peer evaluation showed that the presenters improved their presentation skills in all four areas, especially in the area of considering audience and using gesture. The reflection paper analysis supported this result. As a result, the peer feedback and evaluation have positive effects on improving the learners’ presentation skills and ability.
