    This research paper offers information, activities, and material to anyone who is interested in applying role-play activities based on Task-based language method (TBL) to help students, English language major, improve their speaking ability. This research highlights the necessity to enhance the speaking skills through strategies which provide learners with plenty of opportunities for oral communication. Role-play is a suitable strategy to improve speaking skills since it gives students the chance to interact with each other in a classroom using language for communicative purposes based on daily life situations. To develop the role-play activities proposed in this project, the TBL method has been considered since it as role-play is centered on students’ interaction. Besides, this method emphasizes on the use of authentic language through meaningful tasks such as problem solving, finding solutions, giving advice, sharing personal experiences, among others. Role-play activities have been developed in form of lesson plans as a part of the sequence of an English lesson.
