Chinese college students need assistance in improving their English oral language performance. Hence, it is important to find a method of English language teaching which will foster students' motivation to speak English which does not rely on the help of native speakers of English, who are too few in Taiwan, Republic of China. A review of the research and literature in this field suggested that role-play might be a valuable and valid means for helping students gain communicative competence in the classroom because it provides EFL learners with a close-to-real-life speaking situation conducive to the development of oral communicative skills.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Chinese college students need assistance in improving their English oral language performance. Hence, it is important to find a method of English language teaching which will foster students' motivation to speak English which does not rely on the help of native speakers of English, who are too few in Taiwan, Republic of China. A review of the research and literature in this field suggested that role-play might be a valuable and valid means for helping students gain communicative competence in the classroom because it provides EFL learners with a close-to-real-life speaking situation conducive to the development of oral communicative skills.
520 $a This was a pretest-posttest randomized control group study to investigate whether role-play activity would help Chinese college students: (a) improve their language learning behavior, (b) become less inhibited both inside the classroom when speaking in English in the presence of the teacher and students and outside the classroom in their interaction with others, and (c) thus improve their communicative competence, especially their oral skills.
520 $a The subjects for this study were 40 freshmen majoring in English at the National Kaohsiung Normal University of Taiwan, Republic of China. The dependent variables included English proficiency tests (oral tests, vocabulary, grammar, reading and listening comprehension), a language learning behavior questionnaire, an affective development questionnaire, and the observation of the researcher. The independent variable was role-play. The t-test was used to determine significance at the 0.05 level of confidence.
520 $a The results showed that after participating in role-play activities, the experimental group: (a) showed significant improvement in language-learning behavior, for example, talking to roomates in English in order to practice English, guessing the main ideas, answering questions in English, and asking for help in expressing ideas, (b) became more self-confident and less inhibited, and (c) made progress in English language proficiency, especially oral ability.
520 $a In conclusion, role-play was found to be effective in liberating these Chinese college students from certain psychological fears and most definitely helped them with their language-learning behavior. Consequently, their communicative competence increased, especially their oral language skills.
