First, we should know what exactly a role-play is According to Dr.Rachel Tustin – a PhD in Education , a Master in English: “Role playing is a fun theatrical exercise that is a cross between improvisation and performing in a play It blends creativity with structure to help actors hone their craft and is an important skill for an actor to develop.” Role - play allows a student to step into the shoes of a character This may sound easy, but it isn't necessarily a natural process It's a skill that requires a lot of practice before a student can it comfortably and well Role playing takes place in small groups, where each student is given a specific character or role to take on for the assigned period Within the role play - aside from assigning characters such as mother, friend, and classmate - there's also a prescribed situation within which the various characters will interact The situation provides the boundaries and guides how the characters should behave within the role play 1.2.The advantages of using Role-plays in teaching speaking English in grade 11 Many experienced scholars have argued that role-plays are not just timefilling activities but have a great educational value It is used to be thought that role-plays are only used for warm- up activities or when there is some time left at the end of a lesson Nevertheless,role-play games can more than that TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com Role-plays have a lot of advantages Firstly, I want to emphasize that role-plays help students to reduce tension during their studying Role-play games make them funny, happy and comfortable when they are played games, which will help students concentrate on the lesson and learn better Moreover, students will remember English words, structures according to games the most effectively In addition,the purpose of role playing is to give the students an opportunity to work with others in determining how an individual or group might behave in response to a particular situation.Role playing is often used primarily to promote classroom discussion.The use of role playing as a cooperative learning model also includes class discussion as a vital step, but in this approach the entire class is involved in preparing and presenting role plays through group activity Furthermore,a role- play is where students act out a real-life situation, for example checking into at a hotel, but not act out a different personality Roleplays are where students take on different personalities In a role-play, for example, one student may be asked to take on the role of "an angry neighbor" which is out of character for the student To sum up, role-plays are very effective in teaching speaking English for non- major English students in grade 11 Being an English teacher it is very necessary for you to use them in teaching speaking English for students in the future 1.3.Major issues of the speaking English teaching in grade 11 Yen Dinh district is far from the center It is considered a rather poor district As the school has 2114 students, but the quality is not very high, especially students in grade 11 Teachers used simple method, they often give new words, structures and ask students read and learned by heart at home Results before using role-plays in teaching speaking School year: 2018-2019 Class 11A1 11A4 11A7 11A8 Number Good of Amount (%) students

good students accounted for zero percent for four classes in term of being interested in learning English, the weak students accounted for high percent 1.4 Role Play Procedure in the Classroom Role play in this distance learning class allows the objectives of the course to be met in the limited time, through an integrated approach which TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com allows the practice of language skills, content and interaction skills and strategies.The teacher's role in giving clear instructions was equally important The learners were asked to get into groups and choose a leader for each group All the reports were given to the leaders who assigned individual roles to each group member They were asked to improvise the message in the reports which were not too structured and to find a structure that fits into a real life situation.Apart from that, the learners were asked to jot down in a diary, journal or log book, their feelings, comments, thoughts and perceptions about a particular learning experience related to the role play Such entries could provide opportunities to the learners for self-reflection and self-observation There are six major steps in the procedure (Huang: 2008): 1-Decide on the Teaching Materials The teacher must decide which teaching materials will be used for role play activities The teacher can take teaching materials from textbooks or non-textbook teaching materials such as picture books, storybooks, readers, play-scripts, comic strips, movies, cartoons, and pictures The teacher selects the material ahead of time The teacher can also create his or her own authentic teaching materials for role play activities The teaching materials should be decided based on students' level and interests, teaching objectives and appropriateness for teaching 2- Select situations and create dialogs, then a situation or situations to be role played should be select For every role plays situation, should be providing (by the teaching materials or by the teacher) or created by the students themselves 3- Teach the Dialogs for Role Plays, the teacher needs to teach the vocabulary, sentences, and dialogs necessary for the role play situations The teacher needs to make sure the students know how to use the vocabulary, sentences, and dialogs prior to doing the role play activities, otherwise, the teacher should allow students to ask how to say the words they want to say 4- Have Students Practice the Role Plays, students can practice in pairs or in small groups After they have played their own roles a few times, have them exchange roles That way, students can play different roles and practice all of the lines in the role play When students are confident enough to demonstrate or perform in front of the class, the teacher can ask them to so for their classmates 5- Have Students Modified the Situations and Dialogs, once students have finished and become familiar with an original role play situation, they can modify the situations and/or dialogs to create a variation of the original role play 6- Evaluate and check students' comprehension, the teacher shall evaluate the effectiveness of the role play activities and check if students have successfully comprehended the meanings of the vocabulary, sentences and dialogs The games are used to apply to teach speaking part in grade 11 2.1 Roommate

the language is useful and meaningful.Role-plays are effective as they create motivation, lower students’ stress, and give language learners the opportunity for real communication.Role-plays promote learners’interaction.Interaction comprises the nature of classroom pedagogy and classroom behavior Pair or group work is one of the main ways to increase cooperation Role-plays require more imagination by students and teacher and can be difficult to manage because they are unpredictable.The initial scenario develops from the students interacting with each other and can literally go in any direction.This gives students practice in a non-threatening environment, and gives the motivation and involvement where they have to think in English Roleplays are interesting, memorable and engaging, and students retain the material they have learned In their assumed role, students drop their shyness and other personality and cultural inhibitions, making them one of the best tools
