This study investigates the effectiveness of the Game-Based Learning (GBL) approach inimproving young learners’ vocabulary skills. The research was conducted at Pondok PesantrenDarul Amin Palangka Raya, involving 25 seventh-grade students selected through purposivesampling. A quantitative research method with an experimental group design was employed.The instrument used was a vocabulary test consisting of 15 questions covering five topics:Greetings, Colours, Counting, Telling Time, and Simple Present Tense. Students’ performancewas measured through a pre-test and a post-test. The results showed a significant improvementin students’ vocabulary achievement after the implementation of the Game-Based Learningapproach, with the average score increasing from 66.92 to 87.12. Statistical analysis, includingthe t-test and Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test, confirmed the effectiveness of thetreatment. These findings birutoto suggest that Game-Based Learning is an effective and engagingmethod for enhancing vocabulary acquisition among young learners. The study supports theintegration of game-based strategies as a meaningful and enjoyable alternative to traditionalvocabulary instruction in English language learning.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of the eco-teaching approach in English language educationwithin the Kali Sembunyi learning community, located in Nunleu subdistrict, Kota Raja, Kupang City.The target group consists of children aged 6–10 years living near a local river basin. Eco-teachingintegrates ecolinguistic principles (Halliday & Mühlhäusler) and meaningful learning theory by utilizingenvironmental objects as direct teaching media. The learning process emphasizes interactive andjoyful activities grounded in the children’s ecological context.Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through observation, interviews, anddocumentation. The results indicate that children acquired English vocabulary more effectively whenlearning was contextual and grounded in their surroundings, compared to traditional methodsinvolving translation and rote memorization. Engaging with real-world materials such as stones, leaves,and water fostered deeper cognitive and emotional involvement, making language acquisition moremeaningful. These findings support the view that language should be taught in connection withecological contexts to cultivate both linguistic competence and environmental awareness.This study recommends implementing eco-teaching across all age levels in foreign language education,particularly in community-based learning settings. Integrating language instruction with localecosystems not only enhances retention and understanding but also nurtures ecological sensitivityamong learners.
