One of the primary purposes of learning foreign languages, particularly English, is the ability to communicate effectively with other users of the target language. Role-playing, one of the communicative teaching methods, is believed to develop learners’ speaking competence and help them learn the language in an authentic context. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the role-play teaching method and students’ speaking competence. The current study uses two semi-structured interviews. One is designed for teachers teaching the 9th-grade level. The other is designed for a class at the 9th-grade level with 30 students. The findings show that role-play activities participate in developing students’ speaking skills.
