This study looks at how well the Pou Memory Game improves the Filipino vocabulary of Grade 8 students. Conducted during the 2024-2025 school year, the research took place in a public secondary school in Misamis Occidental. A group of 28 Grade 8 students, chosen because they showed low performance in Filipino, participated. The study used a classroom-based action research design, which included lesson plans, pretests, and posttests. Researchers analyzed the data with descriptive statistics like mean, frequency, and percentage, using a t-test to check if the students' improvement was significant. Results showed that before the intervention, students had low vocabulary skills, with everyone falling short of expectations. The study found that students struggled with Filipino vocabulary at first, showing low performance before using the Pou Memory Game. After adding the game to lessons, their vocabulary skills improved significantly, with many students achieving high scores. The game also boosted motivation, confidence, and engagement during Filipino classes. This indicates that the Pou Memory Game is an effective and enjoyable way to enhance vocabulary, especially for students who learn better through interactive methods. These findings point out the value of educational games in making vocabulary teaching more effective and fun. The study recommends integrating similar tools into language instruction and exploring their application in other subject areas. Filipino teachers may use the Pou Memory Game for vocabulary instruction, especially in challenging texts. Schools should consider incorporating mobile games into blended learning to boost student engagement. It also encourages the development of more vocabulary games to suit various learning styles, along with regular assessments to track progress. Additionally, teacher training on game-based learning is suggested, and future research could explore similar tools in other subjects or language skills.  \nKeywords—educational game, Filipino vocabulary, language learning, Pou Memory Game INTRODUCTION  \nIn the current era, where the world is interconnected, the influence of international cultures is rampant. Various platforms of communication rose, which introduced the different traditions, cultures, beliefs, and languages to their neighboring countries (Wani, 2011) . Most scholars believe that it shows a world that is more mobile and connected. People travel for leisure or jobs, and they move to different parts of the world. They also interact with people from other languages and cultures, whether in person or through modern communication technology. This interaction requires them to use a common language, which is often English. While this creates more interdependence and a feeling of shared experience, it also leads to increased conflicts between groups. The world is more interconnected, yet it is also more fragmented. Social and economic inequality has become clearer both within and between countries (Ladegaard, 2018) .  \nLanguage proficiency is essential for interacting across cultures. Students in a multicultural setting need strong language skills to communicate effectively with people from different countries (Meng et al. , 2022) and with international students from various backgrounds (Nguyen, 2021) . Higher language proficiency improves  \nintercultural sensitivity and communication skills, whi","cbCaiqbtnC5s5pcj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqbtnC5s5pcj","pdf",873175,11,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study evaluates how the Pou Memory Game improves Filipino vocabulary proficiency among Grade 8 students.\"},{\"question\":\"Who participated in the research and how were they selected?\",\"answer\":\"A group of 28 Grade 8 students from a public secondary school participated; they were chosen because they showed low performance in Filipino.\"},{\"question\":\"What research method and analysis were used?\",\"answer\":\"The study used classroom-based action research with lesson plans, pretests, and posttests, analyzed using descriptive statistics and a t-test to assess significant improvement.\"}]","Vocabulary Enrichment in Filipino Language Through the Pou Memory Game | PDF",1790835942,28]
