Journal Title: American Journal of Environmental Economics - Year 2022, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
This study aimed to improve the Grade 8 students’ vocabulary skill through localized game-based activities. The participants of the study were the 35 Grade 8 students who were officially enrolled at the Mariano Marcos State University – Laboratory High School, Batac Campus, for the School Year 2021-2022. The data on students’ level of vocabulary performance were determined based on the students’ scores in the pretest and posttest, respectively, using a 20-item teacher-made test. Frequency distribution, means and mean difference were used to treat the data. Findings reveal that the Grade 8 have varied levels of vocabulary skill before and after the application of the intervention. Likewise, there is a significant change on the students’ pretest and posttest scores. Moreover, this study found that the use of localized game-based activities such as Pinoy Henyo and Bugtong Bugtong was effective in improving the students’ vocabulary skill.
