Abstract

This paper is about exploring what and how soft skills can be gained from using a role-playing game while teaching a speaking skill to children. This study is conducted by analyzing and observing data result from other studies related to this research objective. The subject of this research is a young learner average eight to ten years old student of elementary school. The role play referred to in this research is a simple role-play such as acting and playing pretend that young learners can understand without complicated components. They will perform a role play without set dialogue, only with a scenario idea as they will use their ability to conduct the role play. This study was conducted because of the importance of a soft skill that impacts children's ability in using language. This study found that there are better communication skills, analytical and problem-solving skills, decision-making judgment, and boost learner self-confidence in using English as a second language. Communication skills and self-confidence are developing because there is an interaction between speakers in the context of role-play scenarios. Children tend to imprint a lesson that they experience themselves, consequently making them remember their mistake when they speak English in an attempt to have a conversation in communication. Thence this makes students learn from past mistakes and become more fluent in speaking English as a second language that does not sound stiff as a robot, unlike when they only learn from the textbook. Roleplay is fostering children's analytical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skill because role-play gave them a context of how to apply language in a real-life situation. The student will try to think in a logical order and to speak what they want, consequently stimulating their thinking ability in a good way.

This research is conducted with a discussion consisting of logicalreasoning about the detailed explanation as a method to deal with the issue.It was done by cross-checking and reviewing eclectically from dissimilarsources in the related field of study as well. Moreover, the discussion andresult are affirmed and evaluated by utilizing the relevant existing studiesand research. The scoop and limitation in this study are that the subject isreferring to the Indonesian students that learn the English language as aforeign language in formal education school.The study found that this phenomenon is happening because of thepedagogical need based on the standard formal education school curriculumin Indonesia that focusing English as a communication language rather thananything else. A teacher neither needs nor bother to explain the languagein a deeper sense of meaning and only teaches what is necessary for thestudent requirement. This makes the English language used in Indonesianschools lose its true meaning and understanding because of the differencein intercultural understanding. This mostly happens in a school that useslocalized English that has been adapted in our culture and habits as foreignspeakers. Hence some vocabularies and phrases end up being simplified toreduce teacher time effort to explain further about language meaning andtruth.
