Abstract
This paper attempts to identify the best practices for teaching Public Speaking for Japanese EFL undergraduate students through a literature review of papers published between January 2016 and April 2021. The paper will be relevant to educators and administrators in charge of or are about to design a Public Speaking course at universities in Japan and abroad. According to Regmi et al. (2010), studies unavailable in English are often excluded from systematic reviews because of language restrictions. Additionally, Sunol and Saturno (2008) argued that research conducted in languages other than English is less available and referenced than those published in English. The organization of the paper will be as follows: (1) a definition of Public Speaking for the purpose of this paper based on literature review, (2) how EFL Public Speaking has been taught in Japan for undergraduate students from 2016 to 2021 based on literature review, (3) how EFL, ESL, and Public Speaking in the native language is taught in countries outside of Japan for undergraduate students from 2016 to 2021, (4) what is known to hinder the act of Public Speaking through research, (5) research- based suggestions offered by researchers and teacher-researchers for effective instruction of Public Speaking at the undergraduate level offered in research papers from 2016 to 2021, and (6) best practices for teaching EFL Public Speaking at the undergraduate level in Japan based on literature from 2016 to 2021.
