Communication is the process by which we exchange meanings, opinions, ideas or emotions with others. Role playing is a great way to improve student's communication skills. Role-play is extensively used in an English communication lab for learning English. Students’ previous experiences of role-play may influence the way in which they engage in this method. Playing a role can become ineffective if people are unclear about what they are supposed to do. I discuss in this paper how to perform play a role and how the role plays help to the students in learning English. It also deals with the obligations of teachers and learners in role play.
