摘要：Vocabulary is a core component in the primary education system for primary pupils to learn English language. Learning vocabulary is a fundamental aspect to acquire the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. Nevertheless, previous studies had proven that it was extremely draining to teach vocabulary to primary pupils using conventional chalk and talk methods. They were demotivated and could not remember the words learned. Hence, this paper is a literature review about the challenges encountered by primary pupils in vocabulary learning and benefits of game-based learning strategies employed in vocabulary learning. Thus, it is crucial to recognise the benefits of game-based learning strategies used by English language teachers in teaching and enhancing the teaching and learning of vocabulary among primary pupils from related previous studies. By identifying the challenges faced by primary pupils, teachers would be able to choose the most appropriate game-based learning strategies to be used in their own classroom which would help to maximise their pupils’ vocabulary learning.
