Abstract
This study explores the degree to which common tasks of tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) align with the speaking functions of the intermediate and advanced levels of the American Council for the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) Guidelines. By aligning TTRPG gameplay with ACTFL oral proficiency functions, teachers may help online language learners engage in group discussions that improve their speaking skills.
