The role-play is a method of learning that encourages the students to communicate with others using the words and verbal structures they have learnt beforehand. It has been a part of the learning process ever since the 1970s and helps the students expand their vocabulary and improve their pronunciation and grammar. It is fun, interesting, different from the other activities, the students really like it, they find it useful, motivating, even the shy students enjoy it. The students play the main role in this kind of activity, the teacher only observes them and helps when necessary. Global simulation is one of the most creative kinds of role-play, the students do all the learning through the theme previously chosen by the teacher.
