This study aims to determine the effectiveness of flashcard games in improving
the vocabulary mastery of seventh-grade students at SMPN 7 Palu. A quasiexperimental method with a pre-test and post-test control group design was
employed. The participants consisted of two purposively selected classes: one
serving as the experimental group, taught through flashcard games, and the
other as the control group,receiving conventional instruction.Vocabulary tests
were administered before and after the treatment to assess students’ improvement.
The collected data were analysed using descriptive statistics and an independentsamplest-test at the0.05significance level.The findings revealed a significant
difference between the post-test mean scores of the experimental group (79.42)
and the control group (67.31), with a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05). These results
indicate that the flashcard game effectively enhanced students’ vocabulary
mastery. The use of visual and interactive media,such as flashcards,facilitated
better word retention, understanding, and recall through dual coding of verbal
and visual information. Moreover, the game-based activities increased students’
engagement and motivation during learning. In concusion, flashcard games
provide an effective and enjoyable medium for improving students’ English
vocabulary mastery. It is recommended that English teachers integrate such
interactive media into classroom instruction to foster more meaningful and
engaging learning experiences.
