The influence of implementing role-play as an educational technique on EFL speaking development

Abstract:

The present study aims to explore the influence of implementing Role-play (RP) as a technique in English class to boost EFL learners’ speaking skills in Ecuador. This work analyzes the features of RP from its origin in Psychodrama and the teaching and learning approaches that support this technique as Task-Based Learning (TBLT), Cooperative Learning (CL), Communicative Learning Teaching (CLT), and English for Specific Purposes (ESP). Consequently, RP is an educational technique which exposes learners to experience in genuine situations to strengthen learners' abilities for communicating naturally and meaningfully with their peers about events of their daily routines and future professional environments.
