Résumé

Globalization has increasingly connected Algeria with international business activities, making English proficiency essential for professional communication. This paper examines the criteria for successful oral business communication and identifies the challenges faced by non-native English-speaking engineers when preparing and delivering presentations in an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) context. The study involved participants at the 16th International Conference on Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) in Algeria. The findings show that higher general English proficiency is associated with more effective oral performance. They also indicate that non-native English-speaking presenters need further training in oral communication skills and more opportunities for practice.
