Introduction
Public speaking is a very important
skill to master.In this case teaching speaking
plays an important role so that we can speak
in public effectively In this study we
focused on teaching speaking through
presentations in class to improve students'
speaking skills. However, it appears that
there are some issues with presentation skills
emerging in the classroom in the Indonesian
setting. The students' continued dearth of
vocabulary and proper grammar in English
makes improving oral English presentations
their first issue. Second, they are
unconfident in their ability to deliver an
English talk. Third, many schools still lack
the technology necessary to improve student
learning activities, such as computers,
English language learning tools, LCD
displays, and projectors. Finally, it appears
that the Indonesian EFL setting lacks highly
qualified human resources for teaching
presentation skills.
There are obviously a lot of things
the instructor needs to do in order for
learning to be good or effective. One of
them is to make an effort to comprehend
students' learning styles. Don't anticipate
learning to be successful, for instance, if we
frequently only use vocal instruction while
knowing that learners are more receptive to
visuals.
According to Felder & Brent's
description from 2005, a person's learning
style is how they comprehend and process
new information, acquire new learning
experiences, handle new problems, and/or
obtain new experiences. DePorter and
Hernacki (2004) classify learning methods
into three categories based on vision, sound,
and movement. Learning methods
concentrate on visible or kinesthetic
methods of processing knowledge. It will be
simpler for someone who is highly
suspected of adhering to this learning style
to comprehend concepts and information so
that new knowledge can be formed and
saved in both short- and long-term memory
enduring impression. DePorter & Hernacki
(2004) assert that when someone explains
something to someone who tends to have a
visual learning style, that person will
conjure up an image in their mind of what is
being explained problem.
The distinction between this study
and prior studies is in the learning methods
used learning strategies. In this study, the
researcher used a presentation method that
guides children to be able to demonstrate
their speaking skills systematically
according to the learning subject or topic.
This presentation technique's activity stages
are systematic and coherent, allowing
children to become accustomed to speaking
in the proper sequence to use the proper
sequence of words when speaking. Teachers
are accustomed to using this display method
in teacher-centered learning activities for
teaching and learning activities teacher-
centered learning, but it's something novel
for pupils to use learners. In order to
improve their speaking abilities and design
teaching and learning tasks, engaged
learners will receive this training to develop
learner-centered teaching and learning
exercises and to educate active learners how
to communicate more effectively.
The use of presentation methods in
students learning activities is meant to
promote student's speaking abilities in terms
of communicating ideas and concepts to
others about the learning subjects acquired.
According to Suryadi (2020), giving a
demonstration is the act of speaking in front
of a group of people with the intention of
presenting and persuading them of one's
ideas and beliefs. Students will find it
simpler to clarify ideas and views, as well as
get answers from viewers, using speaking
methods, so that the ideas communicated are
more clearly accepted and understood by the
audience. Therefore, the objective of
enhancing students' speaking abilities will
be accomplished through the use of
presentation methods because it will
motivate other students to share their views
as listeners in reaction to the presenter.
In addition, Anggraini (2010)
focused her research on how technology is
used in the classroom. The research found
that students' speech abilities increased
when they used PowerPoint presentations. A
computer application called PowerPoint
presentations enables students to learn
imaginatively and effectively. According to
the study's results, 12 participants (32%)
were labeled as having "poor" presentation
skills, while 25 out of 37 participants (68%)
demonstrated "fair" presentation skills prior
to the implementation of the English
curriculum and the use of PowerPoint
presentations as a teaching and learning
method. The findings showed that 20
participants (54%) had "very good"
performance ratings and 17 participants
(46%) had "good" performance ratings after
being shown a model of a successful
presentation skill.
Based on earlier research, the current
study is primarily concerned with the use of
presentations to improve students' speaking
skills. In addition, it looked into whether
using presentation as a cutting-edge method
that can be applied to language teaching-
learning processes results in a noticeable
increase of students' success in oral
presentations. The results of this research
should increase knowledge of how
presentations can help students improve
their speaking abilities and provide
(Indonesian) EFL practitioners with useful
information in this area.
