Abstract
This research work aims at improving students' vocabulary through "Board Race" as a language game, the case of second year students at Larbi Ben M'Hidi University. In order to check this correlation, we have hypothesized that if English teachers use "Board Race" in teaching English vocabulary, it would bring a significant improvement on learner's mastery of vocabulary knowledge. To verify the validity of this hypothesis, we have used an experiment as a tool of data collection. For this tool, 30 students were chosen randomly and divided equally into two groups. Students in both groups had a usual oral class, but students in the experimental group have been exposed to the new way of vocabulary instruction throughout the use of "Board Race" language game introduced by the researcher. The analysis of the experiment results showed that using "Board Race" language games can be very effective in facilitating the teaching/learning of English vocabulary for both the teacher and the students.
