역할놀이의 목적

Ⅰ. 주어진 상황에서 개인의 성격을 확인하고 묘사를 필요로 하는 개성, 요구 및 야망 등을 반영해 주는 회화를 익힐 수 있다.

Ⅱ. 역할 놀이에서 요구하는 능력은 어떤 특정한 반응을 보이도록 하는 것이 아니라 내용을 주의 깊게 듣고 여러 가지 반응을 자연스럽게 표현하는 순수 회화 능력을 개발시킬 수 있다.

Ⅲ. 자신감이 있는 어린이가 자신감이 없는 어린이보다 습득한 외국어 활용에 있어서 더 우수하기에 역할 놀이를 통하여 아이들의 자신감을 향상시킬 수 있다.

Ⅳ. 어린이들은 자신이 맡은 역할을 표현하면서 덜 긴장하게 되고 언어사용에 대해 덜 의식적이 되므로 실수에 대한 두려움을 극복할 수 있다.

Ⅴ. 자신이 아닌 다른 인물의 역할을 맡아봄으로써 자아의 테두리를 벗어나 다른 사람들의 감정을 이해하는 데에도 도움이 된다.

Ⅶ. 단순한 흥미위주가 아닌 실질적인 회화를 습득하고, 아동들에게 알맞은 주제를 선정하여 정의적인 측면의 발달을 가져올 수 있는 역할 놀이를 하여야 한다. 단순한 흥미위주의 역할 놀이는 지양되어야한다.
