Abstract

This study focuses on enhancing effective speaking skills among undergraduate students by using effective tools of language learning through activities like role play and tongue twisters. The deficiency in communicative ability among the students is caused due to the students' lack of interest, inadequate practice in learning language and inappropriate environment for teaching EFL learning. Role play and tongue twisters can be quite simple and are good techniques to organize. Role play is highly flexible; it develops the initiative and imagination. It differentiates the individuality. Role play would train students to deal with the unpredictable nature of language. The English language teacher should focus on the factors that can contribute to a roleplay and use tongue twisters to ensure greater success in learning English. They need to make sure that the language achievement demanded is well within the learners' capacity, their own enthusiasm, and careful and clear presentation and instructions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
