The participants were then asked to reflect on their own confidences in the same criteria. A framework employing HGRA was developed to analyze the data. The results show that from the easiest to the most difficult, the cognitive confidence in sequence of the participants is S(21)→S(27)→S(25)→S(16)→S(12),…,→S(2), and in sequenc eof criteria is C(1) Posture→C(5) Preparing effective visual aids→C(2) Eye contact→C(3) Gestures→C(6) Explaining visual aids→C(4) Voice variation→C(9) Closing the speech→C(7) Opening the speech→C(8) Organizing & outlining the speech body. Based on the findings, in order to tailor to students’ cognitive load for best training results, the teacher should start from easier, more concrete techniques such as motor skills and preparing effective visual aids, and finally proceed to the abstract, logical organization of the main points. Additionally, the teacher can even offer differentiated practices to those whose cognitive load level in speech skills are different.

This research explores the studies published in English from 2004 to 2013 on the Public Speaking （PS） course to provide a preliminary framework of the research paradigm and identify its major themes and sub-themes in this field.
