Abstract

Student presentations in foreign language classes enable students to apply all language skills when making, preparing and giving a presentation. In a foreign language, the topics of the presentations can be adapted to the profession and thus enable students to repeat or adopt a foreign language, especially a foreign language for specific purposes and materials related to professional subjects. In addition to a favorable impact on language skills and professional knowledge, presentations allow students to acquire other (communication) skills, as well as gain self-confidence, which can help them in further oral presentations, and in the future workplace. Prerequisites for the success of oral presentations and student presentations are good preparation, detailed instructions and clarity of assessment criteria by teachers and good preparation by students. The paper offers an overview of instructions and guidelines for teachers and students for successful presentation and insight into the experiences and opinions of students of the Polytechnic of Međimurje in Čakovec on the task of presenting in a foreign language and the benefits and disadvantages of this task.
