| dc.description.abstract | The objective of this research has been examining the use of role plays in the teaching of oral English: the case of grade nine students of Bethlehem Secondary School. For this study, Bethlehem Secondary School was selected purposely because the researcher is teaching in this school; therefore, he would have a better chance of understanding sufficient information about English students. In addition to this, grade nine (9) was chosen as the participants of the study. To achieve the desired objective, the researcher adopted the descriptive analytical method of research. The researcher used purposive sampling. The researcher also used questionnaire, interview and classroom observation as tools for collecting the data. The major findings of the research showed a respectable amount of positive perception on both teachers and students side. Yet, a general weakness was seen on practicing role play in a real classroom situation. The finding also pointed out factors such as shortage of time allotted for one period, student less motivation, large class size, the enforcements raised from school administrators to cover the large volume of English text book, and weak performance of students on speaking the language as hindrances for using role play in the speaking classroom as one teaching method to enhance oral fluency. Furthermore, at the end, the researcher forwarded possible recommendations for the identified problems. | |
