THE INFLUENCE OF ROLE-PLAYING GAMES IN DEVELOPING SPEAKING SKILLS IN ENGLISH LESSONS
Abstract
This study explores the impact of role-playing games (RPGs) on developing speaking skills in English language lessons. By analyzing pedagogical theories, empirical research, and classroom applications, it demonstrates how RPGs enhance fluency, accuracy, pragmatic competence, motivation, and collaborative learning. The findings highlight RPGs as an effective, engaging, and learner-centered approach in modern language education.
