Role playing and the speaking production

Abstract

Currently speaking a second language is one of the most difficult skills to master, for this reason it is necessary to focus on dynamic activities to motivate oral production. The objective of this research work was to explain the importance of role play in improving the oral production of tenth grade EGB students in the "Unidad Educativa Bilibgue Pelileo". The design of this research was pre-experimental with the quantitative method in which a group of 10 students were considered. It is necessary to mention that the data was collected through Cambridge standardized tests as a pre-test and a post-test. These Cambridge standardized tests were the preliminary test for the speaking section. Then, a treatment of 8 interventions with appropriate activities was applied to integrate role play as a strategy to improve speech. Finally, the results were analyzed using SPSS. The results showed that the use of role play can improve the oral production of students.
