Abstract

This final project discusses about English vocabulary acquisition for junior high school students through digital game-based learning media. This research focus on how do junior high school students use digital game-based vocabulary learning outside of the classroom, as well as student perceptions of digital game-based vocabulary learning. In this research, the PBS Kids media game was chosen as the learning media. This research used the descriptive qualitative method and collected data through observations, documentation, and interviews with eight participants. Transcribing, data reduction, representative findings, and interpretation were used to analyse the data. The research found that implementing digital game-based vocabulary learning was more effective for students in comprehending, acquiring English vocabulary, and student perceptions after using digital game-based vocabulary learning could help them stimulate student problem-solving abilities and create social interaction skills. The results imply that, under the right conditions, digital games could be used as a medium in the process of vocabulary acquisition, teachers can use digital games-based vocabulary learning as an alternative teaching material for English students. Digital games provide learners with flexibility and accessibility. However, future researchers should be able to explore other digital game-based vocabulary learning platforms.
