speaking scores before the use of the role-play method as well as the students' scores after the use
of the role-play method and how the differences in those.
This study started with students' speaking test before being given role play treatment (pre-test)
which was then recorded and assessed. Then at the next meeting, the researcher gave treatment in
the form of role play in the classroom as a learning method. At the next meeting, students were
again given a speaking test after treatment (post-test) which was then recorded and assessed.
