ACHIEVING NONVERBAL PRESENTATION SKILLS USING SELF-REGULATED LEARNING METHOD IN PAKISTAN

Abstract

Students in Pakistan are rarely exposed to presentation skills in the classroom and assessments are typically based on written material rather than oral, the study sought to determine whether Zimmerman's model of self-regulating learning (SRL) could be useful in ameliorating the nonverbal presentation skills of non-native students. Purposive sampling was used to gather data from fifty individuals at a public institution in Lahore, Pakistan. A mixed-approaches strategy was implemented. The participants were interviewed in focus groups and given pre- and post-tests as data gathering tools. The statistical tool SPSS was applied to analyze the data, and NVIVO was used for qualitative analysis. The answer was overwhelmingly positive, according to the results. Results showed that Zimmerman's self-regulated learning model was successful in ameliorating the non-native students' nonverbal presenting abilities, including body language, eye contact, confidence, facial expressions, and aesthetic appeal.
