Manigbas & Jasper M. Del Valle  \nVocabulary is a fundamental component of English proficiency, serving as the foundation for listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills, and underpinning overall reading comprehension. Learners can express ideas effectively only through the words they know, and a broad, varied vocabulary enables more precise and complex communication. Consequently, vocabulary knowledge has a direct impact on achievement in both reading and writing.  \nThe COVID-19 pandemic disrupted traditional learning delivery, generating anxiety and disengagement among students, particularly in subjects taught in a second language, such as English. This concern is further underscored by the 2018 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) results, which revealed low performance among Filipino students in reading. The Philippines ranked 79th globally, with over 80% of students failing to reach the minimum proficiency level and a meanscore of 340 compared to the OECD average of 487—one of the largest proportions of low performers among participating countries and  \neconomies.  \nIn response to these challenges, integrating games into lesson delivery has emerged as an effective strategy to enhance engagement and facilitate learning. Whether implemented interactively, online, or offline, game-based activities function as both instructional tools and formative assessment methods, promoting active participation and sustained motivation. There is, therefore, a pressing need to enhance English vocabulary instruction through game-based approaches. By employing interactive, engaging, and contextually meaningful games, teachers can help learners expand their vocabulary, improve comprehension, and strengthen language production, equipping students with the skills required to succeed in 21st-century learning environments.  \nThe Use of Game-Based Approach in Enhancing English Vocabulary  \nVocabulary, alongside phonetics and grammar, is fundamental for mastering a foreign language, as it underpins the four core language skills:  \nlistening, speaking, reading, and writing. Insufficient vocabulary knowledge hampers language proficiency and may demotivate learners, given that effective communication depends heavily on the words one possesses. Consequently, teaching vocabulary is a central component of language instruction, enabling second language learners to comprehend and express ideas in both spoken and written forms (Hombali, 2018) .  \nDespite its importance, several persistent challenges impede vocabulary acquisition. According to Susanto (2021), many students struggle with correct pronunciation, accurate spelling, and understanding grammatical inflections, all of which complicate the internalization of new  \nvocabulary. Additional difficulties include selecting the appropriate meaning of words, using terms correctly in context, and interpreting idiomatic or figurative language. Surmanov and Azimova (2020) further note that learners often lack confidence in effective vocabulary-learning strategies and may be uncertain about how to adopt a focused and systematic approach.  \nResearch indicates that educational games are a highly effective tool for addressing these challenges in English language classrooms. While game-based learning is not a new concept, it has gained recognition for its capacity to create engaging, interactive environments that facilitate meaningful language use. Arcagok (2021) emphasizes that game-based activities enhance motivation, provide enjoyable and interactive learning experiences, and support the acquisition of targeted vocabulary. These activities offer contextualized practice opportunities, allowing learners to apply new words in problem-solving tasks, collaborative exercises, and real-life scenarios. Through repeated exposure and active engagement, students can improve pronunciation, spelling, and contextual understanding ","cbCaifBXus63X4j3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifBXus63X4j3","pdf",669403,13,"English","# The Need for Game-Based Vocabulary Instruction\n# The Use of Game-Based Approach in Enhancing English Vocabulary\n## Core Language Skills and Vocabulary Importance\n## Challenges in Vocabulary Acquisition\n## Evidence for Educational Games in Vocabulary Learning\n## Theoretical Foundations of Game-Based Learning\n# The Effectiveness of Game-Based Activity Materials in English","[{\"question\":\"Why is vocabulary considered fundamental for English proficiency?\",\"answer\":\"Vocabulary underpins listening, speaking, reading, and writing, and broad knowledge enables more precise and complex communication.
