Speaking English is an essential skill for vocational high school students to succeed in the world of work. However, many students face challenges such as limited vocabulary, low self-confidence, and minimal practice opportunities. This study examines the effect of the role-play method on improving English-speaking skills among students at SMK SPP SNAKMA. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving 35 tenth-grade students. Results reveal significant improvements in students' speaking abilities. Specifically, 85% of participants demonstrated increased confidence, 70% expanded their active vocabulary, and over 60% achieved better pronunciation and contextual communication skills. These findings underscore the role of active, situational learning in fostering practical English communication. The study highlights role-play as a transformative method for equipping vocational students with industry-relevant speaking skills.
