5. Definition of Role Play
Livingstone (1983) stated that role-play is a classroom activity
allowing the students to practice the language, the
aspects of role behavior (e.g. formality, register, function,
attitude, paralinguistic features, extra-linguistic features,
acceptability and appropriateness, and the immediacy of
oral interaction), and the roles outside the classroom that
they may need to know.

6. Role Play in Classroom Activity
in a role play “Learners are asked to imagine them selves in a situation
which could occur out side the class room; to adopt a specific role in
this situation; and to behave as if the situation really excited in
accordance with their roles.” Little Wood (1948, p 49)
“Role play typically involves a) a situation in which a setting participants
and a goal or problem is described; b) description of the role of each
of the participants and the task he or she has to accomplish (p.86).
Richards (1985)
“When students assume a ‘role’ they play a part (either their own or
somebody else’s) in a specific situations; play means that the role is
taken on in a safe environment in which students are as inventive and
playful as possible. Ladorsse (1987, p.5)

7. Speaking Skill related to communicative approach
There are five features of CLT pointed out by Nunan:
 An emphasis on learning to communicate through interaction in the
target language.
 The introduction of authentic texts into the learning situation.
 The provision of opportunities for learners to focus, not only on
language, but also on the Learning Management process.
 An enhancement of the learner’s own personal experiences as
important contributing elements to classroom learning.
 An attempt to link classroom language learning with language
activities outside the classroom. (David Nunan, 1991)

8. Scripted Role-play in developing speaking skills
 According to Byrne (1986), role play can be grouped into
two forms, scripted and unscripted role play. Holding
different ideas from Byrne, in dividing types of roleplay,
 Littlewood (1981) reported that role-play activities can
be categorized into four types as follow: Role-playing
controlled through cued dialogues, Role-playing
controlled through cues and information, Roleplaying
controlled through situation and goals, Role-playing in
the form of debate or discussion

10. Significance of Role Play in Developing
Speaking Skills

in the target language, promotes students to interact with
others in the classroom, increases motivation and makes
the teaching-learning process more enjoyable.
