If learners take on roles to practice real-life classroom scenarios, this activity is known as ______.

• A. Brainstorming
• B. Simulation
• C. Role-play
• D. Case study

Answer: (C)

Role-play centers on enacting roles in realistic situations. Learners assume identities such as teacher, student, or observer and act out common classroom interactions—delivering instructions, addressing a disruption, giving feedback, or coordinating group work—to rehearse language, teaching strategies, and classroom routines in a safe, constructive setting. After the enactment, they reflect on what worked and what could improve, building confidence in real-time communication and decision-making in context. This is different from brainstorming, which aims to generate ideas; from case studies, which analyze a scenario after the fact; and from simulations, which model a process or system and may involve equipment rather than live human interaction.
