Large group settings, which often mean less peer to peer interaction among students, are
increasingly common in many UK universities. This project proposes group role-play as one
possible teaching method in a large group of students, and aims to evaluate how it affects
peer to peer interaction and its perceived learning benefits. The findings suggest that group
role-play does encourage interaction between students and facilitates their understanding of
the applicability of theories to practice. However, this study also found that group role-play
should be mixed with a lecture, and that the tutor has to pay attention to time management
and the motivation of a student to get involved.
