Abstrak
The application of role-play is carried out not only in exact subjects but also in English language learning. The role-play environment creates a meaningful context that gives students the opportunity to learn English in situations that resemble the real world. Apart from that the communication that occurs in a role-play atmosphere is natural so that it can stimulate students to practice and improve their English language skills. Regarding English language learning the presence of cutting-edge technology such as Interactive Spherical Video-Based Virtual Reality (ISVVR) can be utilized. Apart from being a way to overcome time constraints ISVVR media can enrich learning resources and space for practice. This research aims to test the effect of applying role-play assisted by ISVVR and Learning Styles as moderator variables to improve English speaking and writing performance. This research used a quasi-experiment with Pre-test and Post-test Control Group Design. The participants used were 92 class XII students at MAN 5 Jombang using 2x3 factorial Manova analysis. The findings in this study were that speaking and writing performance was different between groups of students who applied role-play assisted ISSVR and conventional video and learning styles but there was no interaction between model and learning style on speaking and writing performance.
