dc.description.abstractNowadays learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL) or a Second Language (ESL) is becoming very important. With the advent of the communicative approaches to language teaching, which call for developing the communicative skills of students who have become the center of the teaching/ learning process, the speaking skill is viewed as an important element in the learning of English. However, it has been noticed that some students have weaknesses in speaking. Therefore, it is imperative for teachers to use oral activities in the classroom that help to enhance the students' speaking skill. Thus, the aim of this dissertation is to study the oral presentations' role in enhancing the students' speaking skill in EFL classrooms. The hypothesis states that if students perform a well-structured oral presentation in the oral expression session, then, their speaking skill will be improved and they will progressively develop their communicative competence. In order to check this hypothesis, an investigation took place. It consists of administrating questionnaires to 50 third year students belonging to the English Department at the El Arbi Ben M'hidi University as well as attending 4 sessions of classroom observation. The results obtained show that the majority of the students of English find that oral presentations are important activities to in the Oral Expression module. They also reveal that students communicate better when oral presentations are often used in oral classes. This research pinpoints the difficulties students face when speaking English such as low self-confidence and pronunciation mistakes as well as anxiety to face an audience and speak, and the research tried to give solutions to overcome these difficulties. It also shows that students need more practice in preparing oral presentations. The results found are hopefully useful and can serve future studies, and at the same time make students aware of the importance of oral presentations and activities in developing their speaking skill.ar
