Resum

The purpose of the study is to find out the factors affecting the public speaking skills of 45th cohort students majoring in high-quality English and make recommendations to improve and enhance the public speaking ability of EFL students from High-quality English Studies Program. The study participants included 86 high-quality English language third-year students. We used questionnaires to collect data and used SPSS statistical software to analyze data by descriptive statistical method. Research results show that students' ability to speak in public is affected by their lack of confidence in speaking. At the same time, the factors of the study program and the school environment also affect the students' public speaking skills. Based on the research results, the paper makes some pedagogical recommendations.
