It was found that the students performed moderately well. However, the professor’s 1) class activity management and 2. feedback and students’ 3) self-awareness, 4) oral exam challenges, and 5) speaking fluency improvement need a revisit for quality teaching and learning. The results would provide the vehicle for understanding some issues in teaching and learning which require compensatory techniques to increase their oral exam performances to an excellent rating among these factors. This paper also offers insights to guide professors or teachers in developing materials and teaching techniques so that students can further improve their fluency in the target language.
