Investigating teachers’ practices of using role-plays to develop primary school students’ English communication skills in An Giang Province
Nội dung chính của bài viết
Tóm tắt
Developing English communication skills is crucial for primary school children and role-play is seen as an effective method to achieve this goal. However, how to apply role-play effectively in English classes remains a challenge. The study aims to investigate primary school teachers’ use of role-plays and explore how English teachers use role-plays to develop primary students’ English communication skills in the English classrooms. A mixed-methods design was employed, using surveys with 103 English teachers, semi-structured interviews with 6 teachers, and classroom observations with 6 teachers at primary schools in An Giang province. Based on the data collected from classroom observations, teacher interviews, and survey responses, the findings revealed that most teachers employed effective strategies when using role-play in teaching to develop primary students’ English communication skills in English classrooms. The findings can contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the role of role-plays in addressing the challenges and opportunities presented by globalization in education and beyond. Thus, pedagogical implications can be suggested for the need to support English teaching in the curriculum and to develop primary students’ English communication skills at primary schools in An Giang province, as well as in Vietnam.
