dc.description.abstractNowadays, implementing role-playing strategies combined with technological support materials is an innovative teaching practice. On the other hand, speaking fluency is one of the most difficult English skills among A1 learners. Therefore, this study is focused on analyzing the integration of different role-playing techniques to improve motivation in developing speaking fluency in A1 EFL learners from Unidad Educativa Rodriguez Albornoz. It was necessary to apply a pre-test to collect results related to the student’s speaking level. The results of the interview indicate the teacher’s experience and opinion aligned with the research topic. On the other hand, the survey revealed that students know English is important for their academic life. Also, students are interested in oral activities that are different each time and even more so using virtual platforms such as Duolingo, Flipgrid, Memrise, Vocaroo, or Audacity rather than traditional materials such as pictures, videos, and slides. Consequently, the intervention consisted of a lesson plan proposal focused on covering and improving findings. The main objective of this implementation was to contribute to the improvement of speaking fluency in A1 learners. Then, the post-test indicated outcomes achieved after the implementation supported by role-playing techniques and digital tools. There was notable progress after the implementation of this study in improving speaking skills. It was possible due to learners were able to participate in real-life sceneries to be applied in real-life situations. In addition, this helped students to increase their confidence during speaking performances. Finally, the study concludes that challenges must be overcome for role-playing strategies with support materials to be effective.
