“…Colleges and universities also are expanding the definition of skills required of students in individual courses. Skills in critical thinking and oral and written communication go beyond simply learning about a discipline (45). ACTIVE LEARNING Instructors are looking for more forms of active learning to engage students' interest and to encourage class participation (2,6,22) through discussions and the application of classroom materials to real problems and situations.…”

The teaching environment for plant pathology is changing in both positive and negative ways. Teaching expectations are increasing and resources are decreasing, but recent educational research and instructional technology offer new approaches to meet these challenges. Plant pathologists are teaching courses that may attract new students to the discipline or at least improve agricultural awareness. The Internet offers rapid access to information and images for both students and instructors. Instructional technology provides new tools for classroom presentations, communication with students, reaching new audiences, and distance learning, but using these new tools to enhance learning requires skilled and creative instructors. In the past, many plant pathology instructors worked in relative isolation, but new communication technologies and publishing opportunities for teaching scholarship should improve the sharing of instructional resources and methods.

This article presents a descriptive mixed study regarding the perceptions of university medical-related profession students towards role-playing and their confidence in communication. Students' perception towards role-playing was determined by an open-ended questionnaire while their most important consideration in language study was measured through a seven-point Likert scale. Thematic analysis was used for the qualitative data while descriptive statistics were used to analyze quantitative data. Out of the 144 students from all the classes, 117 medical-related profession students participated in the study. Results showed that role-playing helped the students gain confidence through frequent practice of the target language. Moreover, role-playing showed improvement in the medical-related students’ oral communication skills including their non-verbal communication skills. Furthermore, the students consider practicing the target language as the most important consideration in language study. The results indicate that this study can provide substantial data towards a new approach and a paradigm shift in English language education at the university level; from grammar focused instruction to communicative approach.

“…20,21 Benefits of role-play as a learning tool include relaxed, less stressful learning environment, some unplanned situations or questions students need to accommodate for during the simulation, and the need to integrate previous knowledge and experience for better role-play outcomes. 22,23 There are several studies that reported initiatives in improvement of students' soft skills and career readiness in Europe, Canada, Malaysia, Australia, and the United Arab Emirates. 24,25 Some studies propose to integrate teaching soft skills early in the programs, e.g., for freshmen students to early expose them to the required skills.…”
