The effectiveness of cues and information role-playing on the development of speaking of high school students

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of cues and information role-playing on the development of speaking of high school students. 5 male and 5 female students participated in the treatments for 8 times, an hour per each lesson within 2 months. The research tools included cues and information role-playing cards, which were adapted to the level of learners. The researcher took an observation note during the activity, and interviewed each learner about their attitudes toward learning English, dialogue memorization, role-playing and factors that involved their speaking.
The results indicated that every learner has improved their speaking skill in terms of grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and fluency. Moreover, the study illustrated some important factors that prevent learners from speaking. The teaching implications were included to be a guidance for English teachers.
