Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of role-playing in developing Chinese communication skills among tenth-grade students at Kanlayanawat School. The sample consisted of 43 students during the 2024 academic year, selected through purposive sampling. The research employed three categories of instruments: lesson plans incorporating role-playing, performance assessment tools—including learning outcome evaluations, behavior observation forms, and a final Chinese communication assessment—and quantitative data analysis using mean (M), standard deviation (S.D.), and percentage (%). The findings revealed a steady improvement in students' communication skills, with proficiency rates increasing from 43.33% in the first cycle to 56.67% in the second cycle and 86.67% in the third cycle. These results suggest that role-playing is an effective method for developing Chinese communication skills and may also contribute to improvements in other language competencies, such as writing.
