RESEARCH OVERVIEW
Abstract
One of the foremost responsibilities of language teachers should be not just to let students to
acquire set phrases, but also to teach how to interact in a variety of situations, to develop and
practice new language and behavioural skills in a relatively safe setting. In recent years, there has
been a growing interest to integrate meaningful use of language and rich authentic communication
in English classes. Yet, one of the universally effective methods in the classroom, which meets the
demand of all above requirements, is a role play. In the present article the attempt is made to
investigate the effectiveness of the role play in English classes of an intermediate level
