Abstract:
This study investigated the use of body language cues in English oral presentations by first-year EFL students. The subjects of the study included 87 first-year students at Faculty of Foreign Language Teacher Education and Faculty of English at The University of Danang - University of Foreign Language Studies. The data were collected by means of questionnaires, interviews and observations. Data analysis was based on qualitative and quantitative approaches. The main findings of the study were that although all of the students had positive awareness towards the roles of eye contact, facial expressions and gestures in English oral presentations (EOPs), many students rarely or never used these body language cues when giving EOPs and some even fell into bad habits such as avoiding eye contact, using negative hand gestures and regularly showing the stress on their face when they made EOPs. Besides, feeling ashamed, feeling uncomfortable and feeling unfamiliar were students’ three main difficulties when using eye contact, facial expressions and gestures in their EOPs.
