Roleplay

In a role-play a small group of pupils “become” different characters

for a short time. The idea is to act out an imaginary scene where you

put yourself in another person’s situation. This way you can express

ideas that may be different from your own.

Roleplay

Role-plays are also a great way of practising your fluency in English as you have a chance to use English in new ways and situations. 

You also have to improvise: to use the English you know to communicate your ideas quickly and naturally. 

However, role-plays work best when you prepare before you start.

Speak to someone on your own
