Abstract | Vocabulary is a vital part of English second language education. Unfortunately, the teaching and learning process is challenging for students as regular classroom activities have become tedious and boring, which does not motivate them to learn. Not only that, but this also discourages them from practising outside of the classroom. To help encourage students to become more motivated in learning and improving their English vocabulary, teachers need to consider more creative activities to be used in the classroom. |
