Abstract
Presentation skill is a type of public speaking which can be in a form of speech, debates and meetings. In public speaking, a speaker can face more than two people or even hundreds or thousands of people. While in ordinary conversation, the speaker or the listener is limited to only a few people. Feedback is usually given after an activity is done. In this case, the students who were trained were given feedback by the teacher. Feedback is given thoroughly, both on the language, content and method of presentation. Research on feedback or assessment on oral presentation is underexplored. The present research is a proof supported with empirical data which suggests that the role of feedback is important and statistically assessed as significant in making performance better. The main factor that determines the quality of a presentation is the language skill. However, there are other aspects that are quite decisive such as the material or topic or theme presentation and method.
