Traditionally, Japanese engineering universities provide students with classes in technical English focusing on all four skills with significant leverage given to speaking assessment. Learners are often required to provide a technical oral presentation at the end of their English course. Because speaking in English is essential for engineers to communicate in the global business landscape, this paper focuses on how the author developed speaking competencies in her technical English class. More specifically, using CLIL, the author developed a speaking task to develop and practice technical speaking skills, which enabled learners to provide better oral presentations.
