Abstract

English vocabulary is the fundamental component in the English language. However, there
were pupils who could not spell English vocabulary correctly due to low socioeconomic
backgrounds and low motivation and interest in learning English. Consequently, pupils failed
to attain scores in Final Academic Session Test (UASA) for English subject. They failed to
score the spelling section due to their narrow vocabulary range. Therefore, GAMLET
Pictionary was developed to address the targeted pupils’ needs. It is a self-directed learning
module designed for ESL learners who had problems in learning and spelling English
vocabulary. It is a step-by-step module that leads ESL learners in acquiring the targeted
vocabulary using context clues given, i.e., definitions, visuals and descriptions. This is aligned
with the latest format of UASA that requires pupils to understand the definition of words. This
innovation product is expected to address the current needs of Malaysian ESL learners in
learning English vocabulary in a fun and exciting learning environment effectively. This
innovation had been implemented to five pupils in a Chinese national-type primary school for
a month and the data depicted that there was a significant difference of their English
vocabulary mastery before and after the innovation, implying that GAMLET Pictionary is
feasible in developing Malaysian primary ESL learners’ vocabulary mastery. The findings from
the questionnaire also showed that the participants held positive perceptions towards
GAMLET Pictionary as they enjoyed the activities designed in this innovation product. They
hope to use the innovation product to acquire more English vocabulary in future.
