dc.description.abstractPublic Speaking is one of the ways to improve Malaysian students’ speaking skill. Through a widespread literature review, it is shown that public speaking improves students’ confidence level and speaking skill. This is because the programme offers them the opportunity to improve the fluency of their speeches and their confidence level in terms of body language, vocal variety, hand gestures, facial expressions and eye contact. This study with a case study design was conducted to study the effectiveness of Public Speaking Programme in improving Malaysian students’ confidence level in speaking skill. 3 students were chosen in this study to participate in the Public Speaking Programme throughout the period of 10 weeks. The students’ performances were recorded and were observed by the researcher. The students’ performances were evaluated by the evaluator and the role-players (timer who recorded the time of the students’ presentation and ah-counter who counted the number of fillers made by students). The students were also interviewed by the roleplayer. The interviews were done for four times throughout ten weeks in order to check on the students’ level of confidence from time to time. The findings from observation, evaluator’s reports, role-players’ reports and interview data revealed that all the students improved on their fluency and confidence level towards the end of the programme compared to the first week of the programme. Thus, it can be said that with the help of public speaking programme, the students’ confidence level had improved and they also managed to speak fluently after joining the programme.en_US
