DEVELOPING ROLE-PLAY BASED WORKSHEETS FOR TEACHING ASKING AND GIVING OPINIONS TO ELEVENTH GRADE STUDENTS

Abstrak

This study aimed to develop role-play-based worksheets for teaching asking and giving opinions to eleventh grade students in order to support their speaking skills through interactive and communicative activities aligned with the Independent Curriculum. This study employed the Research and Development (R&D) method, simplified into four stages: gathering information and data, data analysis, product design, and expert validation. The data were collected through students’ needs analysis questionnaires, classroom observation, and expert validation questionnaires involving fifteen eleventh grade students and one material expert, and were analyzed using percentage and mean formulas. The results showed that students needed structured, interactive, and engaging worksheets that provide dialog examples, useful expressions, and step-by-step guidance for role-play activities. Based on these findings, a worksheet entitled “Speak Up for the Earth: Asking and Giving Opinions Role-Play” was developed using the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach. The validation result showed an average score of 3.63, categorized as good, indicating that the worksheet is appropriate for use with minor revisions and can support students’ speaking skills, especially in expressing opinions, while encouraging active participation and improving their confidence in classroom communication, although further research is still needed to examine its effectiveness in wider classroom implementation.
