English Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of using word games on first grade students' achievement in English vocabulary in Al Muthana bin Saad School for boys, and Tahfeeth Al Quraan school for girls in Tabouk City in Saudi Arabia.
To achieve the purpose of the study, a pre/post-test was constructed to measure students' level in English vocabulary.
The test consisted of twenty items on English language vocabulary.
The sample of the study consisted of 178 first grade students; (86) male students and (92) female students during the first semester of the academic year 2011.
The sample of the study were distributed into four groups (two female groups (experimental and control), and two male groups (experimental and control).
The experimental groups were taught English vocabulary using games while the control groups were taught using the conventional method.
The subjects were 44 male students for the experimental group and 42 male students for the control group, while the female students for the experimental and control group were 47 and 45 respectively.
Descriptive statistical analyses were used (means and standard deviation) for the pre and post- tests of students' English vocabulary.
Comparison statistical methods were used Two Way ANOVA analysis of variance to make a comparison between the control and the experimental groups and gender variable.
The findings of the study indicated that there was statistically significant differences in the post- test between the control and the experimental groups in favor of the experimental group, and there was no statistically significant difference in the students' achievement due to gender.
The researcher concluded some recommendations to reinforce the effect of using games for teaching English vocabulary on students' achievement in English vocabulary such as conducting further studies on other populations and for a longer period time
