Abstract: This article examines the results of an action research on role-play to enhance language skills of ESL learners. In India, particularly in the state of Andhra Pradesh, the participation of students in English Language classrooms is insignificant. There are various reasons for this, like low confidence levels, improper exposure and lack of practice of language skills and so on. In addition to this situation, a majority of the English language classrooms inn Telugu medium schools is teacher- centered and not student-centered and it affects drastically the students’ less participation and thus their role and spirit are understated. Under these circumstances, Collective Language Learning (CLL) methodology is employed by the researcher with the objective to overcome the existing problems using role-play as a standard tool. If role-play is used effectively as a tool in the classrooms, it supports students’ participation and enriches communication skills. In this regard, CLL promotes collaborative discussions, self-reflective thinking and systematic phases of problem-solving. This article aims to enhance students’ participation and their ability to use English Language in a variety of academic and professional situations besides integrating LSRW skills.
