Enhancing Presentation Skills through Artificial Intelligence: A Case Study at Van Lang University

In today’s global environment, the ability to present effectively in English has become an essential skill for EFL learners. Yet, in many classrooms, assessment still centres on technical content, leaving issues such as fluency, confidence, and clear organization underdeveloped. This study set out to explore whether two AI tools—Yoodli and Orai—could help bridge this gap for EFL students at Van Lang University. The research involved undergraduate participants who used these tools regularly as part of their presentation practice. An explanatory mixed-methods approach was applied: surveys captured the main difficulties students face and measured improvement, while interviews provided richer insight into their experiences and attitudes. The findings point to marked progress in fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, and content structuring, with students appreciating the tools’ instant, tailored feedback. Beyond individual gains, the study underscores the value of integrating such AI platforms into teaching to promote independent learning and more confident, well-structured presentations.
