Teaching English Presentation Skills In Islamic Studies Faculties.

Abstract

In the era of globalization, English presentation skills have become an essential
competence for university students, including those enrolled in Islamic Studies faculties.
Graduates are increasingly required to communicate academic ideas, research findings, and
religious perspectives in international academic and professional forums. However, many
Islamic Studies students face challenges in oral communication due to limited exposure to
Englishspeaking environments and presentation-based learning. This study investigates the
implementation of English presentation skills instruction in islamic studies faculties and
examines its impact on students’ communicative competence, confidence, and academic
performance. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from classroom
observations, questionnaires, and performance assessments involving 78 undergraduate
students. The findings indicate that structured presentation training significantly improves
students’ fluency, organization of ideas, pronunciation, and self-confidence. The study concludes
that integrating presentation-based pedagogy into English courses for Islamic Studies students
enhances both linguistic competence and professional readiness.
