THE IMPACT OF ONLINE GAMES MOTIVATION IN LEARNING ENGLISH VOCABULARY USING ONLINE MULTIPLAYER GAMES

The primary objective of this article is to investigate the impact of online games on student motivation in the context of English vocabulary learning. The study involved a sample of 40 male high school students from different schools in Yemen. A descriptive statistic research approach was employed to gather and analyse data in order to gain insights into the phenomenon under investigation. The findings of this study indicated that the utilization of online games as a means to enhance students' motivation in learning English vocabulary has yielded noteworthy outcomes. This approach assists students in their languagelearning endeavours and engenders a heightened sense of engagement, amusement, and tranquillity during the learning process. Moreover, the advent of online games in this digital age has facilitated opportunities for students to interact and engage with native speakers, thereby substantiating their efficacy as a viable educational tool. Consequently, it is plausible to assert that online games will no longer be perceived solely as an impediment to academic progress but as an alternative platform for students to augment their knowledge acquisition.
