Description
Summary:The study explores the integration of mobile gaming for English language learning among the 1st year education students in CTU-Tuburan for the School Year 2022 - 2023. The research employed a quantitative design, utilizing a descriptive approach by administering survey questionnaires to collect data. The study adopted a descriptive correlational method to delineate the notable relationship between learners’ performance and electronic communication skills. The study’s chosen participants consist of 100 first-year education students officially enrolled in the school year 2022 - 2023, all of whom are confirmed Mobile game players. The selection was made using purposive sampling, a non-probabilistic method frequently used in research and data collection. The findings revealed that the respondents were generally proficient in using online resources to clarify word meanings. However, there was room for improvement in enumeration, time order, and comparison and contrast skills. The assessment of personal factors showed mixed proficiency levels, with sociability rated as skillful but self-disclosure, emotion decoding, and assertiveness rated as moderately skillful. The study found a significant positive correlation between vocabulary development and reading comprehension, suggesting that improved vocabulary skills led to better reading comprehension. However, no significant relationship was found between vocabulary development or reading comprehension and electronic communication skills in the context of the study. These findings provide insights for integrating mobile gaming terminologies in English instruction among the 1st year education students in CTU-Tuburan for the school year 2022 - 2023.
