THE IMPORTANCE OF ROLE-PLAYS AND DIDACTIC GAMES IN ENGLISH CLASSES

Abstract

This article deals with the important roles of role-plays and didactic games in the
English classes. There are several reasons for using role-play and didactic games in the
classroom and teachers can use for themselves.
Incorporating role-play into the classroom adds variety, a change of pace and
opportunities for a lot of language production and also a lot of fun.It can be an integral
part of the class and not a one-off event. If the teacher believes that the activity will
work and the necessary support is provided,it can be very successful. However , if the
teacher isn’t convinced about the validity of using role-play the activity “will fall flat
on its face just as you expected it to”. Therefore, if you think positive and have a go,
you may be pleasantly surprised.
