Oral presentation skills are critical in Higher Education Institutions, as they are often used to assess students’ knowledge and understanding of a topic. Students' attitudes towards oral presentation play an integral role in their development of these skills in a foreign language context. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the attitudes of third-year EFL students in the Module of Linguistics at the English Department of Hassiba Benbouali University in Chlef, Algeria, concerning their experiences with oral presentations. It also seeks to identify the challenges that hinder the preparation and delivery of oral presentations. A quantitative approach was used to address the research questions. The findings showed that most students had positive attitudes towards oral presentations, although they faced some challenges during preparation and delivery, such as memorisation, selection of relevant information, speaking anxiety and fear of embarrassment in front of their classmates. Important pedagogical implications and recommendations for future research were drawn from these findings.
