Kajian ini bertujuan meneroka isu dan cabaran penglibatan pelajar dalam pertandingan pengucapan awam di Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT) khususnya melalui pertandingan Ikon Motivator UMAC. Fenomena penglibatan pelajar sains tulen yang semakin aktif berbanding dengan pelajar sains sosial menimbulkan persoalan terhadap faktor penyertaan berdasarkan latar akademik. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif berbentuk fenomenologi dengan pengumpulan data melalui temu bual mendalam melibatkan 10 informan. Hasil kajian mendapati pelajar sains sosial mempunyai kelebihan dari segi pendedahan awal kepada komunikasi lisan namun kurang motivasi dan minat menyertai pertandingan formal. Sebaliknya, pelajar sains tulen menunjukkan kesungguhan tinggi untuk keluar dari zon selesa dan membina kemahiran insaniah walaupun kurang pendedahan secara akademik. Antara cabaran utama yang dikenal pasti adalah kurang keyakinan diri, kekangan masa, dan beban tugas akademik. Kajian mencadangkan beberapa penambahbaikan seperti memperkukuh sokongan emosi dan moral kepada pelajar serta mempergiatkan promosi program dengan mengadakan bengkel. Sokongan institusi dan pengiktirafan juga perlu diperkukuh bagi memupuk budaya komunikasi efektif dalam kalangan pelajar. Secara keseluruhannya, kajian ini menyokong kepentingan penglibatan kokurikulum dalam membentuk graduan yang seimbang dan holistik.
