dc.description.abstractThe goal of this study is to examine the potential of Pecha Kucha presentation style for English languagelearners who are prospective teachers of English. The participants were students enrolled in anadvanced-level speaking course in the English language teaching department of a state university inTurkey between 2016 and 2018. Students were required to make presentations in Pecha Kucha format,a fast-paced, time-constrained presentation technique. As part of the study, 102 students completed anopen-ended survey and a total of 12 students representing cohorts from each year participated in semistructured focus group interviews. Thematic data analysis illustrated benefits of using the presentationstyle such as perceived development in speaking, self-confidence, time management and presentationskills, and drawbacks including an increase in anxiety, steep learning curve, and constraints due to theformat. In addition, the findings showed that English language teacher candidates recognized thetechnique’s potential and reported a high rate of intention to integrate it into their future languageteaching pedagogies. The study is concluded with the discussion of implications for EFL learners, preservice language teachers, and educators in higher education context.en_US
