In 2018, the KOSEN National Institute of Technology, Japan introduced the Model Core Curriculum (MCC) as a guideline specifying the technical, basic, and specialized knowledge that all students at KOSEN should aim to achieve. The MCC emphasizes the necessity for students to achieve a certain level of English skills to communicate in a global society. To help students attain that goal, presentations, debates, and discussions in English are conducted based on the level of English. This study focuses on an English class wherein each student was asked to make two presentations in English. Although all 31 of the students had little prior experience in giving English presentations, their progress was impressive. In particular, the results revealed that they learned effective presentation skills by observing the presentations of their peers. Based on the findings drawn using five evaluation points and feedback from students, we have made recommendations that could help improve their English communication skills.
