SUMMARY:

This research work proposes three Role-playing Games (RPG) to foster the practice of speaking in English classes, as well as to develop the skills related to it. In order to fulfill these goals, we adapted three RPG games which we previously used in the English language class. To give theoretical pedagogical support to this project, we based it on the constituent elements of Interactional (CELCE-MURCIA, 2007) and Second Language Speaking (GOH and BURNS, 2012; BURNS, 2013) competences. These studies make it possible, within the active method of learning (SCHANK, 1995; WELTMAN, 2007), to produce feedback that helps to monitor the learning and development of orality throughout the project. Guided by the authors named here relating to the use of RPGs in education and game design (JÄRVINEN, 2008; KAPP, 2012), we were able to improve the afore-mentioned games to achieve the objectives of this research. Our wider theoretical framework is based on studies that recomend the use of RPGs in education (FAIRCHILD, 2004; VASQUES, 2008; FLOYD D. and PORTNOW, 2008), mainly in the teaching of English (LUIZ, 2011; LEFFA, BOHN, DAMASCENO and MARZARI, 2012). With this research project, it is expected that by using RPGs, we can develop and stimulate orality in the English language classroom, as well as encouraging the application of  communicative methodologies in language teaching. As a further outcome we aim to contribute a written study on the two themes involved in the subject area of our research.
