This qualitative study was aimed at understanding the areas of participants' linguistic and critical thinking development that facilitated students' achievements in "FLTRP (Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press) Cup" English public speaking (EPS) contest. A sample of five college students who were winners of EPS contest was interviewed using a semi-structured interview technique. Students' responses revealed that sufficient input, interaction with peers and teachers played a mediating role in EPS contest and brought significant gains at speaking resource accumulation and ability training, while Q&A (Question and Answer) session triggered their ability to think and respond quickly. The results had implications to future EPS trainers on how to better prepare students' critical thinking abilities and linguistic competence in this field. It is recommended that proper amount of mock contest be held in different classes as practice and preparation for participants' speaking skills before the competition.
