Abstract EN

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of the role playing strategy on enhancing some speaking skills of the ninth grade students.

In order to achieve the objectives of the study, a speaking test consists of 10 situations from which a student had to choose five situations to talk about for at least one minute on each.

These situations were videotaped and recorded.

The participants of the study were 46 ninth grade male students and divided into two groups: experimental group of 25 students taught with the role- playing strategy and a control group of 21 students taught by the current method as described in The Teacher’s Book.

The results of the study revealed statistically significant difference at (α= 0.

05) between the mean scores of the ninth grade students’ performance of the overall skills of the speaking test due to the teaching method used in favor of the experimental group.

Moreover, the results revealed a statistically significant difference between the two mean scores of the ninth grade students’ performance of the five skills of the speaking test due to the teaching method variable used in favor of the experimental group
