        The paper aimed to understand how role-playing affected the speaking proficiency of pre-intermediate EFL learners. Speaking skills in the experimental and control groups were evaluated. 24 pre-intermediate students from the English Translation Field of Chabahar Maritime University in Chabahar, Iran, who were chosen for the study based on their performance on a pretest, comprised the participants. Twenty was the range of their ages. Both male and female students were present. While the treatment implemented for each group was chosen randomly, these two groups were not. The placement test results showed the participants' homogeneity and degree of proficiency. Using role-playing techniques, the researcher conducted in-group activities to simulate conversation. The conventional method of instruction was given to the control group simultaneously. The post-test was given to understand their improvement in speaking after eighteen sessions utilizing "Speak Now 1". According to inferential statistics, the experimental group members performed differently in the post-test. After comparing utilizing two independent paired t-tests, the mean for the control group was 12 while the experimental group was 14. The mean of the two groups differed by 2 points, and the p-value was p= 0.026<p= .05. In summary, the experimental group had better outcomes. Also, it could improve their speaking ability using the above-mentioned book that acting in front of their peers, enhanced their expressive abilities. Manuscript profile
