Japan faces significant challenges in education. National Curriculum Guidelines and Center examinations are being reframed, but ambiguity toward future education is still prevalent among our citizens. As technology shows swift development in an increasingly global society, Japan must adapt to these changes and adequately respond to social needs. In 2020, English, as well as programming and presentation, becomes a mandatory subject, which highlights the emergent demand to revolutionize schooling. The trend also emphasizes the output of knowledge in line with critical thinking, in light of the failure of legacy systems based on cramming data and simply regurgitating it. This is an excellent opportunity to shift our learning style to a more practical manner aside from exam-based learning. This paper argues the importance of employing presentation training in English education because it helps students to participate in productive conversations in their direct pursuit of knowledge.
