Implementation of the Role Play Method to Improving Students’ Speaking Skill

2023-03-18T09:48:56+00:00

Students must be able to communicate in English in order to grasp the significance of English as an international language. However, not all students can communicate in English. The approach utilized does not stimulate speaking skills, hence it is vital to establish an English method to help pupils improve their speaking ability. It is used by almost everyone from all over the world to communicate in both formal and informal contexts. English language proficiency is critical in international interactions to be able to engage in the larger world of work, whether it be entrepreneurship or employees in domestic and international companies. The capacity to hold a conversation in a foreign language is used to assess speaking abilities. This reality leads instructors, particularly teachers and parents, to think that students and their children must develop speaking skills. Based on the above reasons, researchers concentrated on teaching English rather than teaching about the English Language. The focus is on increasing students' communicative abilities as well as their language abilities. Teachers must design situations to teach languages in a dynamic, active, and interesting manner in order to increase students' communicative capacities. Students frequently encounter various issues while learning to speak. The problem is that their native language makes it difficult for them to communicate in other languages. A lack of enthusiasm to practice a second language in ordinary speech is another cause. Many approaches can be used, including role playing, which has been shown to be successful in teaching speaking in numerous studies. As a result, researchers are interested in examining the use of role playing in English Proficiency learning to increase speaking skills. We also want to know about the advantages and challenges that students confront.

incompatibility between lesson plans, task-based language teaching theory and practices carried out by teachers in the classroom. In addition, the teacher was too focused on giving
tasks that the implementation of teaching was poor. However, the teacher could apply it
properly if the teacher understood and learned more about task-based language teaching. By
discovering information about how to apply task-based language teaching, and not focusing too
much on tasks, teachers could apply task-based English learning according to the established
theory. Moreover, to obtain information about TBLT, it is necessary for teachers to attend
seminars or trainings about TBLT that understand how the concept and application of TBLT
are properly carried out.

Children Vs Adult In Second Language Acquisition

2023-03-18T09:57:41+00:00

This paper aims to provide a more logical response to the topic of whether children are better than adults in learning a second language by examining how children and adults interact with a second or foreign language. The process of learning a second language might come via classes, social interactions, or natural acquisition. The success of learning a second language is also greatly influenced by internal factors such as the role of the first language, motivation, and attitude of the learners. The paper's findings support the hypothesis that aging is correlated with a decline in learners' memory. As long as the person concerned has a desire to utilize a foreign language or second language for the purpose of integrating and socializing, age cannot be used as a criterion for the success rate of studying a second/foreign language other than the mother tongue.
