Details The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of presentation activities done as a review for each lesson. The results showed that the “smile” item in the evaluation and the product word number had a negative correlation. This means that the more participants spoke, the less they smiled toward the audience. Though both upper and lower-level speakers didn’t show any significant differences, the results showed that upper speakers were trying to speak English more correctly, to be more easily understood to the audience, rather than trying to maintain good eye contact with the audience and to use recently acquired words and grammatical structures. The research also showed that by attending the presentation activities, students can gain more insight into the English language.
