Role Play

Role play is really a worthwhile learning experience for both the students and the teacher. Not only can students have more opportunities to "act" and "interact" with their peers trying to use the English language, but also students' English speaking, listening, and understanding will improve. Role play lightens up the atmospheres and brings liveliness in the classes. Students learn to use the language in a more realistic, more practical way. Thus they can become more aware of the usefulness and practicality of English. Role play is indeed a useful teaching technique which should be experimented and applied by teachers more often in the classrooms.

This role play was about the Prince and Princes and played by class III students. The students’ role play was recorded using simple camera. By recording and making them to watch really makes them excitement and feel proud. On other hand role play is considered as one of the active learning strategy where by children are curious to learn more. Therefore, not only in language classroom, we can use this strategy in any subject.
