Roleplaying activities are commonly used to teach social studies in the United States and other countries, and they can offer new perspectives for transforming content-based EFL courses (CLIL) in Japan to make them more accessible and fun. This presentation will introduce two roleplaying activities which were used in a university-level American Studies course. Attendees will participate in these adventurous activities and learn a roleplaying template they can use to enhance their own content-based classes.
