The data was collected by observation, interview, and documentation. The researcher analyzed the data using triangulation techniques. The process is a teacher appoints 2 or 3 students to a group, divides the roles, and instructs other students to pay attention. The advantages are: a) students enjoy learning using the role-playing method, b) students easy to memorize vocabulary, and c) there is an increase in students' Arabic-speaking learning outcomes with a score of 62.77 increasing to 84.72 after learning using the role-playing method.
