Beliefs of english teachers in using role play technique in classroom

Abstract

The present study entitled “Beliefs of English Teachers in Using Role Play on classroom” is an attempt to identify and find out the beliefs of English teachers in using role play technique in their classes and suggest some pedagogical implications. In order to collect the data, the primary and secondary sources were used. Forty English teachers teaching at secondary level in Kathmandu Valley were involved as informants in this study. The main tool for data collection was the questionnaire. The participants were requested to respond to the questionnaire. The raw data obtained from them were analyzed and interpreted descriptively using simple statistical tools.It was found that the teachers believed role play as an appropriate technique for secondary level.According to the number of teachers, it is an appropriate and important technique because the exercises like providing direction, matching, classifying,solving problems,story, drama,information change activities etc require role play technique to be practiced. Moreover, it is found that it is an appropriate technique to deal with crowded class where it is very difficult for a teacher to make personal contact in the class.
