Abstract:
This presentation attempts to identify the best practices for teaching Public Speaking in the English language for Japanese undergraduate students learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL) through a review of literature published between January 2016 and April 2021 as identified in two databases: CiNii and ProQuest. The presentation will be relevant to educators and administrators in charge of or are about to design Public Speaking courses or curricula surrounding those courses at universities in Japan and abroad in English or in another language. Sunol and Saturno (2008) argued that research conducted in languages other than English is less available and referenced than those published in English. The organization of the presentation will be as follows: (1) a definition of Public Speaking for the purpose of this talk based on literature review, (2) how EFL Public Speaking has been taught in Japan in English for undergraduate students from 2016 to 2021 based on literature review, (3) how Public Speaking in the native language is taught in countries outside of Japan for undergraduate students from 2016 to 2021, (4) what is known to hinder the act of Public Speaking through research, (5) research based suggestions offered by researchers and teacher-researchers for effective instruction of Public Speaking at the undergraduate level offered in research papers written between 2016 and 2021, and (6) best practices for teaching Public Speaking for those learning English as a foreign language at the undergraduate level in Japan based on literature from 2016 to 2021.
