Abstract

Early vocabulary acquisition is an important foundation for children's future literacy development and academic achievement. Simultaneously, introducing healthy lifestyle practices, such as handwashing, plays a crucial role in shaping preventive behaviors from an early age. This study examines the effectiveness of teaching health-themed English vocabulary through handwashing activities to early childhood children at Radhatul Makmur Kindergarten in Pringsewu, Indonesia. Using a narrative review approach and thematic synthesis methods, the study analyzed recent literature from leading academic databases, including Scopus, ERIC, and ScienceDirect. The results indicate that physical activity-based approaches, specifically Total Physical Response (TPR) and Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), significantly strengthen vocabulary acquisition and retention and foster children's multisensory engagement. The integration of daily hygiene activities into language learning not only supports linguistic development but also contributes to character building and health awareness in children. These findings highlight the importance of contextual, experiential, interdisciplinary teaching strategies in early childhood education. The study recommends the development of a bilingual thematic curriculum that utilizes daily routines as a natural and meaningful means of language acquisition.

Abstract

The integration of gaming into English language learning is gaining increasing attention as an innovative method for improving language skills. This research explores how the use of games, especially MMORPGs (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games), can facilitate English language acquisition through the interactions required in game contexts. The game allows players to communicate in English in real-time, improving their language skills through practical application in high-pressure situations. Studies show that gamers often have better language skills compared to non-gamers, especially in vocabulary and writing skills. Additionally, the motivation triggered by the fun and interactive aspects of games can reduce affective barriers, such as anxiety, that are often encountered in traditional language learning. Through analyzing language features in gaming communities, learning materials can be designed to suit students' experiences and interests, making them more relevant and engaging. This research highlights the potential of games as an effective language learning tool, offering a new context for language acquisition that may not be achieved with conventional methods.

Abstract

English language skills are an urgent need for students in the era of globalization to support academic and career success. However, the limited English language skills of new students at UIN Raden Intan Bandar Lampung are a challenge that requires a strategic solution. The English matriculation program implemented at the UPT Language Development Center aims to improve students' English language competence through an active learning approach. This activity involves a pre-test, practice-based learning, and a post-test to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in students' English language skills, with an average increase in post-test scores of 20–30 points. These findings emphasize the importance of the matriculation program as a systematic effort to support students' academic and professional preparation and recommend the development of similar programs to be implemented in other universities.
