Enhancing Vocabulary Mastery Through Escape Room Game
Abstract
Vocabulary acquisition remains a challenge in EFL contexts, especially among junior high students in Indonesia, due to limited exposure and traditional rote-based instruction. This study investigated the effectiveness of the Escape Room Vocabulary Game in enhancing English vocabulary mastery among students at Junior High School 1 Pekalongan, Centra Java, Indonesia. The research employed a quasi-experimental design involving pre-tests and post-tests, motivation questionnaires, and classroom observations. Findings revealed significant improvement in the experimental group compared to the control group, with enhanced student engagement and motivation. The results imply that gamified, collaborative methods like Escape Rooms can serve as powerful tools in EFL vocabulary instruction.
