Learning Through Play: Utilizing Board Games to Enhance English Vocabulary for Early Students

Abstract

This public service research explores the innovative use of board games as an interactive tool for delivering basic English language lessons to elementary students. Traditional teaching methods often struggle to engage young learners and make language acquisition an enjoyable experience. In contrast, board games offer a dynamic and interactive approach that fosters language development while fostering a fun and inclusive learning environment. This study investigates the benefits of incorporating board games into the elementary English language subject, highlighting their ability to improve vocabulary, and pronunciation skills while promoting critical thinking, teamwork, and social interaction. By examining the positive impact of board games on language acquisition, educators can better understand the potential of this playful approach to enhance elementary students’ English language proficiency and overall learning experience through a board game.
