into the curriculum can help bridge this gap by providing learners with meaningful
            opportunities to practice speaking. This research aims to investigate the influence of
            role-playing games on students’ speaking performance, including fluency, accuracy,
            pronunciation, and confidence. It also seeks to examine students’ attitudes toward
            role-play activities and their impact on motivation and engagement. By analyzing
            these aspects, the study contributes to a better understanding of how interactive
            teaching methods can enhance language learning outcomes. Moreover, the study
            highlights  the  importance  of  teacher  training  and  methodological  innovation  in
            language education. Teachers play a crucial role in facilitating role-play activities and
            guiding students’ learning process. Therefore, equipping teachers with the necessary
            skills and strategies is essential for the successful implementation of this approach.
            The development of speaking skills is a key objective in English language teaching,
            and  innovative  methods  are  needed  to  achieve  this  goal  effectively.  Role-playing
            games  offer  a  powerful  and  versatile  tool  for  promoting  communicative
            competence,  enhancing  learner  motivation,  and  creating  a  student-centered
            learning  environment.  As  the  demand  for  effective  English  communication
            continues  to  grow,  the  integration  of  interactive  techniques  such  as  role-play
            becomes increasingly important. This study, therefore, seeks to explore the potential
            of role-playing games in improving speaking skills and to provide practical insights
            for educators and researchers in the field of language teaching. Role-playing games
            (RPGs) have emerged as a dynamic and interactive pedagogical tool in language
            teaching. Unlike traditional methods that focus on passive learning through reading
            or grammar drills, RPGs immerse learners in real-life or simulated scenarios where
            active  communication  is  necessary.  By  taking  on  roles  and  enacting  dialogues,
            students engage in authentic language use, which mirrors natural communication
            contexts.  According  to  communicative  language  teaching  principles,  speaking
            proficiency  develops  most  effectively  when  learners  are  encouraged  to  negotiate
            meaning,  make  choices,  and  respond  spontaneously.  RPGs  provide  precisely  this
            opportunity,  allowing  learners  to  practice  linguistic  structures,  vocabulary,  and
            pronunciation in a purposeful and engaging way.
                  One  of  the  most  significant  advantages  of  RPGs  is  the  simultaneous
            development  of  fluency  and  accuracy.  Fluency  is  enhanced  because  learners  are
            required to speak continuously within their roles, responding to evolving scenarios
            and peer interactions. The need to convey ideas and emotions in real time pushes
            students to produce language more spontaneously, which reduces hesitation and
            increases confidence. Accuracy is reinforced as teachers guide the activities, offering
            corrective feedback either during pauses or after the session. This balance between
            fluency  and  accuracy  is  often  challenging  to  achieve  in  conventional  classroom
            exercises, but RPGs integrate both naturally within a single activity. RPGs contribute
            not only to linguistic competence but also to pragmatic competence, which involves
            understanding        social   conventions,       politeness     strategies,    and     contextual
            appropriateness  in  communication.  For  example,  a  role-playing  scenario  set  in  a
            restaurant, a job interview, or a travel agency allows learners to practice how to make
            requests,  express  opinions,  and  respond  to  different  social  cues.  By  repeatedly
            assuming different roles, students internalize these pragmatic norms, making their
            English  communication  more  authentic  and  culturally  sensitive.  This  aspect  is
            particularly crucial for ESL learners, who may otherwise struggle to apply textbook                 356
            knowledge to real-life interactions.
