    This project follows a qualitative approach and action research study that intends to determine perceptions of the effectiveness of role-plays and video recording diaries to enhance students’ oral production of students that belong to the bachelor's degree program in foreign languages with emphasis in English at one private university in Bogotá. To develop this project, we applied the two strategies with six students, who attended 4 series of sessions each week. After this, the students' narratives were analyzed using as instruments the same video diaries and focus group, which included interview-type questions. The mostly positive results showed the different perspectives of the participants in terms of emotional, social, learning, reflection, utility, and motivation factor, present when they communicate orally. These findings are important to provide ideas and tools that can be useful for professors and trainee teachers to help students to improve their speaking skills. It is also beneficial for students that want to improve their English level using comfortable tasks that can increase their confidence.
