Liu, Feng., and Ding, Yun. (2009). Role-play in English language teaching, asian social science, 5(10): 140-143.
the purposes of this study are focus on how to apply role-play in a English class and what are the advantages of apply it in a class. The researchers mention four factors which can help in applying role-play successfully, that are: the topic of the activity must be relevant and real, the teacher need use the appropriate language in this activity, correct the errors in a proper way, and the last the role of the teacher in this activity is as the facilitator, spectator, and participant.
On the literature review the researcher mention about some definitions of role play by some experts and one of them is Wilkins (1975), role play is an activity to imitate the real life, the students must speak properly in line with the condition of this activity and their roles in this activity.
On the next point, the researchers mention some points to make role-play applied successfully in the class, that are: the students’ interest will take big part in this activity and the choice of roles and contexts, the teacher must choice the suitable role to each student.
The lack of finding on role-play context may be due to the fact that this activity did not work successfully. In the role-play activity the teacher should be a surveyor and control the situation to make the class going on smoothly. In conducting this activity, the researchers stated that at the first class the teacher will take ten minutes to explain the role of this activity. The students have 15-20 minutes to prepare their role-play script and 5 minutes to present themselves in front of the class.
On the result of this study, the researchers stated that 70 percent of the students are got improvement in their vocabulary, the errors grammar of the students were corrected by the teacher immediately, and the students can communicate freely and fluently in English.
For my future students I will use role-play too. After I read this journal and see how much students' improvement by taught using role-play, I decided to teach my future students using this method too. I do agree with the researchers that this method is appropriate to teach speaking. The researchers stated some improvement of the students after taught using role-play. So, I want my future students to get these kind of improvements too.
But this method is difficult to use in my previous study, because the teachers at that time just taught the students using the traditional method, they were followed the materials at the book without developing the materials and motivating the students to learn that materials.
