True experimental design improved EFL speaking skills in seventh graders, suggesting role play fosters engagement and confidence.

Role play significantly enhanced overall speaking performance in the experimental group, with increased fluency and confidence.
The experimental group had a t-observed result of 3.456, indicating greater speaking gains compared to traditional methods.
A true experimental design with pre-test–post-test control was utilized, involving 64 seventh-grade students for reliable outcomes.
Role play not only boosts linguistic competence but also reduces speaking anxiety, aligning with socio-constructivist learning principles.
