Summary/Abstract: Multimedia presentation used as an educational method for improving speaking abilities are very efficient while working abroad with a one-nationality group. The system of presentation and peer assessment created especially for Japanese students of Polish seemed to be very helpful in developing speaking skills. During three semesters, students worked on presentations about Japanese cities – in the first semester, about Polish cities – in the second semester, and finally a selected issue of Polish or Japanese culture – in the third semester. Cooperation in giving grades to classmates helped the students listen more carefully and selectively to the presentations and to concentrate on such aspects as grammar, phonetics, the level of understanding, the construction of the presentation, and the proper choice of pictures. Working with that method is very effective and helps students develop more language independence.
