Abstract

The study was particularly aimed at investigating the correlation between general self-confidence and academic achievement in the oral presentation course.Participants were 53 undergraduate female English majors, from Taibah University.Data was collected through a General Self-Confidence Questionnaire (GSCQ) and final evaluation grades in the Oral Presentation course.SPSS was used for analyzing data.The results revealed a positive, significant correlation between general self-confidence and academic achievement.Those who scored high in GSCQ also had high scores in the oral achievement test.Language instructors were recommended to enhance building up their students' self-confidence in order to develop their oral performance achievement.
