Exploring Junior High School Students’ Experiences On Learning Vocabulary Through the Gartic Phone Game

Abstract

This study investigated students’ experiences of learning vocabulary through the Gartic Phone game, a digital tool inspired by the classic telephone game. Conducted in a junior high school in Jember, this qualitative descriptive research involved three seventh-grade students selected through purposeful sampling. Before interviews were held, students participated in two instructional sessions using Gartic Phone to learn vocabulary. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s (2006) thematic analysis framework.
