IMPROVING ENGLISH VOCABULARY THROUGH GAME-BASED LEARNING

Abstract

In this study, the effectiveness of game-based learning in expanding English vocabulary is investigated. Traditional teaching techniques, which usually lead to boredom and decreased engagement, can be replaced with interactive and entertaining activities. Game-based learning integrates educational content into gameplay. It creates a dynamic environment that enhances language usage and retention.   To assess their impact on motivation, engagement, and language acquisition, this study examines a variety of game genres, including board, digital, and immersive games.   The findings show that parents and educators seeking to increase their children's English vocabulary in a fun and effective way may find game-based learning helpful tactics.
