dc.description.abstractThe English language is a fundamental pillar to enhance personal and professional growth, opening more academic and job opportunities. Speaking in English is essential as people can share their thoughts and opinions. However, if the vocabulary is limited, they will not be able to produce orally or participate in exchanges of information. The present research aims to demonstrate pedaeffectiveness of role-play techniques in improving speaking skills. The study population was 27 students in a public school's first year of Baccalaureate. The experimental group was taught through role-play for four weeks. The study used a mixed approach; the tools applied in this research were the pretest and the posttest, done through a rubric and a survey to obtain quantitative data. A questionnaire was used to obtain qualitative data. The results demonstrated an improvement in speaking skills. The mean in the pretest was 8,59 over 20, whereas the mean with the same group after applying role-playing activities was 15,92 over 20, and the overall improvement was 50%. The survey demonstrates the acceptance of the activity with 51%, which falls out into the Strong category of acceptance. Finally, the questionnaire provided evidence of learners' perceptions, with 129 positive comments against 53 negative comments. In conclusion, role-playing was an essential tool for improving speaking skills.
