摘要角色扮演活动是交际法中一种典型的课堂活动形式。在初中英语课堂中有效运用角色扮演活动能够使教学内容趣化，并营造活跃的课堂氛围，从而激发学生的学习兴趣，提高学生的口语交际能力。本文首先列举了角色扮演活动在英语课堂教学中存在的问题，然后从四个方面阐述如何设计一个合理有效的角色扮演活动：制定教学目标、创设情境、输入语言知识和制作角色卡片。本文的重点在于结合具体案例从准备、表演和后续三个阶段探讨角色扮演活动在英语课堂教学中如何实施：在准备阶段，教师给学生分组、分配角色以及让学生操练对话；在表演阶段，教师先安排观察员和进行示范表演，然后挑选学生上台表演；在后续阶段，师生共同对表演者进行纠错与评价。研究角色扮演活动及其如何设计与实施可以促进英语教师对教学的深入理解，提高英语课堂教学效率，也可以提升中学生的课堂参与性和自主学习能力。

1. Introduction 

The Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is an approach used in foreign or second language teaching and emphasizes communicative competence as the objective of language learning. CLT has been warmly welcomed by many researchers and teachers since it was introduced into China in the early 1980s. 

Role-play, one typical activity in CLT, refers to a classroom activity in which the teachers set situation and assign roles to get the students make utterance in a certain role and a certain situation. Compared with other classroom activities, role-play can set a relaxed and delightful atmosphere to stimulate students’ learning motivation, cultivate their language skills, enhance their knowledge acquisition and increase their interests in learning English and interpersonal relationships. So, it is acknowledged by many researchers and teachers as an effective way to enhance the students’ communicative competence in English. 初中英语课堂中角色扮演活动的设计与实施:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_58041.html
