Abstract

 

The aim of this study is to assess the experience of public speaking contest in Moroccan  Preparatory Classes of Higher Engineering Schools (Classes Préparatoires aux Grandes Ecoles) ( CPGE).The participants  of this study  were  CPGE teachers from different centers in Morocco . The study uses qualitative design . The contents of teachers’ interviews  were  analyzed qualitatively. The results  of the study demonstrate clearly  that   the public speaking contest  is crucial for CPGE students to enhance their speaking skills in professional contexts and everyday practices ; however, it is challenging for many students. The difficulties CPGE encounter in the public speaking contest  are aligned to many factors . Firstly,  they do not have the habit of speaking  English publicly before an audience .  Secondly , most students do not master the skills of public speaking.  Thirdly, they are not involved in extra-curricular  activities to sharpen their speaking skills. The study ended up by suggesting practical solutions  to overcome such challenges.
