Abstract: This article reports an action-research study on willingness to communicate orally in English. Implemented through a conversation club, it aimed to tackle low willingness to communicate at a bilingual primary school. The objective was to see the impact of Dogme on learners. Data were collected using class observations, interviews, Likert-scale surveys, and open-ended questionnaires. Data were analyzed through thematic content analysis. The findings suggest that students aged 11-12 were more willing to communicate in English and to produce longer utterances during conversations about themselves and relevant events in their lives. Participants also showed favorable perceptions about Dogme-type lessons. Using Dogme encouraged participants' communication, so teachers can nurture students' interests by personalizing speaking activities.
