Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
The study was designed to investigate the effect of using role-play strategy on a group of female preparatory year learners of Al-Ghadcollege to enhance their speaking ability. The sample of the study consisted of (60) female prep year learners of Al-Ghad college for Medical Sciences in Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah, Saudi Arabia. Two prep year classes were randomly selected. One class were taught by the traditional way without using Role-play strategy, which was the control group and the other class, were taught by using Role-play strategy, which was the experimental group. EFL learners' speaking skill were measured by a speaking achievement test (pre-posttest). The results indicated that role-play strategy was effective in enhancing EFL learners' (experimental group) speaking ability. The study recommended that the use of role-play strategy can be very effective in teaching English in colleges and schools, especially with practical subjects. Using role-play strategy enable learners to cope with anxiety, fear, doubts, before facing future real – life nursing care situations and using role-play in class made learners more engaged with the lesson, negotiate with each other and help each other than they are in a traditional lecture.
