Abstract: The current paper's objective is to determine why some EFL students at Qassim University, KSA, find it difficult to give their public presentations demanded by some departments’ curricula as a college requirement. Recently, the author observed that some EFL students are very reluctant to participate in public speaking sessions until the allotted time expires although they know that they are going to lose grades at the end of the day for not participating. A quantitative research methodology is used to acquire the data. A questionnaire containing (17) items was designed and distributed to a sample of (52) EFL students representing the total number of students enrolled in two theoretical linguistic courses during the academic year (1443 -1444). After collecting and analysing the data, the study showed that some students feel shy and intentionally avoid public speech in EFL classes because they come with hardly negligible experiences in public speech when enrolled as tertiary-level students.
