- Abstract
Recently, speaking has played an increasingly important role in second/foreign language settings; however, in many Pakistanis schools, students hardly communicate in English with other people effectively owing to their educational system. The present study aims at investigating the implementation of e-learning for constructive role plays and its effect on Pakistani students' speaking skills in college English classes. Speaking pre-tests and post-tests, students' role play recording analysis, students' questionnaires, and students' interviews have been employed to collect data during the six weeks teaching period. Results show that the e-learning and role plays have constructive effects on student's performance in speaking skills in terms of language fluency and accuracy. Furthermore, all students express positive opinions towards the e-leaming implementation of constructive role plays. The findings of this study are directly beneficial to all ESL teachers.
