The students are 40 university language students in Uzbekistan State World Languages University in Tashkent. Then, they were divided into two groups, experimental and control groups. Thirty questions were given to both groups as a pre-test of speaking and the students asked to answer them orally. The experimental group then was taught speaking skill of the targeted role-play technique while the control group learnt speaking in their traditional method. After 20 lessons, the post-test of speaking was conducted in which the students in both groups were asked to answer the same way they did first. The results showed that there is a significant progress in speaking skill of experimental group. The two groups were significantly different due to using role play technique.
