The present research attempts to investigate the extent to which role play technique promotes EFL learners’ vocabulary acquisition and test the set hypothesis that teaching vocabulary through role play technique would promote students’ vocabulary acquisition and develop their communicative competence. In order to reach the pre-determined goals, the methodology adopted is the mixed method approach. For the quantitative method we opted for a quasi-experimental study that includes a pre-test, three training sessions and a post-test which were addressed to 20 First Year Undergraduate Students of English at the Department of Letters and English Language at Kasdi Merbah University of Ouargla, whereas for the qualitative method a semi-structured interview was administered to 2 teachers of Oral Expression. After collecting and analyzing the data, the findings showed a remarkable improvement in students’ progress in using vocabulary in their appropriate context.
