This study is expected to be able to develop students' English, especially in terms
of pronunciation, by using the role play method. The lack of students'
pronunciation skills is the focus of this study. Qualitative data collection methods
are used to determine the effect of implementing role play on the development of
junior high school students' pronunciation skills in Bone. Case studies were
chosen as the research design in this study. Participants in this study were students
of SMPN 2 Barebbo. The application of role play as an English learning method
shows positive results. This approach helps students develop relevant skills that
can be applied in everyday life. The study also shows that role play has a positive
effect on improving students' pronunciation skills, in line with the theory of
constructivism which emphasizes the importance of active involvement in
learning.
A. CONCLUSION
The applying of role play as a method of learning English shows positive
results. Students actively participate when divided into groups to play the roles
given, pay close attention to the teacher's explanation, and engage in good
interactions with fellow students and the teacher. Role play requires active
involvement of students, makes learning more enjoyable and allows the
application of knowledge in real contexts. This approach helps students develop
relevant skills that can be applied in everyday life. Research also shows that role
play has a positive effect on improving students' pronunciation ability, in line with
the constructivism theory which emphasizes the importance of active involvement
in learning.
