Sažetak
The purpose of this research was to investigate the impact of teaching predetermined, formulaic vocabulary on improving students' oral communication skills in short, simulated business presentations. The research involved 112 first-year students of Business. Prior to the research, the treatment class received a structured four-week instruction on presentation strategies and presentation vocabulary, while the comparison class did not receive any input of that kind outside the decontextualized business skills content in the course book. The results were obtained by presentation evaluation forms which provided the basis for assessing students' speaking performance in target areas. Findings suggest that the treatment class outperformed the comparison class. The former used predetermined vocabulary confidently and fluently linking it with the relevant content of their talks. Their contributions created a positive impression on the listeners who evaluated such an approach to developing oral communication skills as a highly meaningful, and for some even transformative experience.
