Exploring the Efficacy of Digital Vocabulary Games for Enhancing English Language Skills in Primary School Learners

Abstract

This qualitative study explores the perspectives of primary school teachers regarding the contribution of digital games to students' growth in vocabulary in English. Five key themes emerge from the study's interview data: the benefits of digital games for student engagement, enhanced vocabulary retention, personalized learning opportunities, implementation challenges, and the significance of combining digital games with conventional teaching techniques. These findings are consistent with those of other studies, which have demonstrated that the use of digital games has the potential to improve language learning experiences in elementary school. The study highlights how crucial it is to properly balance the incorporation of digital games in order to maximize their advantages, despite obstacles like technological limitations and the requirement for teacher training. The findings provide educators and policymakers with useful insights that may be utilized in the process of properly utilizing digital technologies in language instruction at the elementary school level.
