CONCLUSION Role play is really a worthwhile learning experience for both the students and the teacher. Not only students can 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. They can become more aware of the usefulness and practicality of English.
