“…Despite the fact that learners criticized the stress PK caused before and during the presentation, many of them indicated a perceived development in their selfconfidence following the PK experience. These results find support from the literature, in which students reported an increase in their level of self-confidence and nervousness being overtaken by the experience (Thomsett & Shaw, 2014), contribution to their confidence to speak English in public (Lucas & Rawlins, 2015), a perceived development in their autonomy (Baskara, 2015), and a significant reduction in their English public speaking anxiety (Coşkun, 2017). Considering students are expected to be well-prepared for their presentations, it is noted that the anxiety they experience before and during the presentation "is regarded as a good motivator that can keep the presenter alert and prevent the speaker from relaxing entirely" (Coşkun, 2017, p. 19).…”

“…It is crucial for teacher to provide students support by bringing sample PK presentations to the class, assisting learners with the organization of the content they are going to present, providing support particularly to the students who might experience a higher level of public speaking anxiety, and familiarizing themselves with PK presentation style. Finally, considering the potential of PK for language teacher education, the technique could be integrated into pre-service EFL teacher education programs as an alternative to traditional presentation techniques which are used for delivering content (Coşkun, 2017;Widyaningrum, 2016).…”

“…The results indicate that the experimental group that gave oral presentations performed better in a speaking achievement test and had a lower level of anxiety compared to the control group, which did no oral presentation. Moreover, Coşkun (2017) integrated oral presentations into his classes and concludes that this activity reduced learners' anxiety.…”
