Citation: Mevada & Gujar. (2015). Role-play: a technique to develop speaking skills of ug students, elt vibes: international e-journal for research in elt, 1(3): 89-97.
know the aim of this journal, that is to know the effect of role play technique in developing ug students speaking skills.
On the first part, the researchers stated that having good English is important not only for the students, but also to the other profession. The next point the researchers stated that to developing students speaking skills, the teacher should conduct a communicative activity such as role play and the teacher should make the teaching learning activity become more interesting. If the teaching learning activity is interesting, the students will be motivated to attend the class.
However, there are some problems faced by the students in learning speaking, that are: the students are not confident while speaking English since English is not their first language, the students do not know where they should practice and improve their speaking skills, and the last is the students are afraid of making mistakes while practicing their English.
On the next point, the researchers mention the definitions of speaking by some experts, and at the last of this point the researchers make conclusion of the definitions of speaking, that is: speaking is the way of delivering someone mind using sounds.
The next point, the researchers mention definitions of role play by some experts, and one of them is Harmer, role play is the activity where the students should act to be other people in a certain situation.
Then, they mention about the benefits of using role play by some experts, one of them is by Adam and Evans (2003). Adam and Evans mention three benefits of using role-play in a learning activity, that are: the students can practice their English like in a real communication, role play can improve students imagination and creativities in making the dialogue of role play, and it motivates students in learning speaking.
At the conclusion, the researcher stated that role play is the effective technique to develop students’ speaking skills. Actually, not only speaking skill which developed, but students’ vocabulary and pronouncing too.
After reading this journal, I will use this activity too to my future students. Because this activity gives more benefits to the students, not only in their speaking skill, but also to their vocabulary and their pronouncing. In the future the students must have good speaking skill, includes the correct pronounciation and much vocabullary. So, applying this activity I think is quite possible to the students. Since I have red some journals and at least I have known how to conduct my students in this activity so the students can get some improvements in their speaking.
However, this method wae used for some years ago, but at my previous study or senior high school my english teachers not used this kind of activity. They just used the traditional method, that is ask the students to read the book one by one, I think the reason why they did not apply this activity in class because at that time the ability of the students in speaking English and make their own script are very low. So, the teacher dis not apply this activity but asked the students to read the book. I think the purpose of my teacher at that time was to improve students pronounciation and accuracy in reading an English text, but it did not give the improvement in the students speaking ability.
