Oral presentation as a pedagogical and evaluative strategy represents an important indicator of student learning achievement. However, when its preparation is carried out collaboratively, some difficulties related to planning, the fulfillment of roles, the organization of the tasks and time management may arise. The objective of this investigation was to analyze the way in which difficulties are solved during the preparation and implementation of an oral presentation from a collaborative approach. The participants were 30 pre-service teachers from a Chilean university. The process lasted three academic weeks and it was consistent with a previous research conducted to analyze five cognitive-linguistic skills. Then, and in order to identify students’ perceptions about collaborative work, an individual questionnaire was used. The results show difficulties in organizing time and tasks, agreeing on points of view, selecting relevant topics in the introduction and conclusion, and prioritizing fundamental aspects of group reflections. On the other hand, the strategies used to remedy such difficulties were: identification of the problem, awareness of the difficulties, new analysis of the problem, group feedback, use of technological tools, permanent dialogue and effective communication.
