This research aims to determine the effect of using the Word wall educational game on students' vocabulary mastery in English among tenth grade students at AT-TA’AWUN Senior High School. The study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, involving two classes: an experimental class that received treatment using Word wall and a control class that received conventional instruction. Data were collected through pretest and post test using multiple-choice questions. The results of the descriptive analysis showed that the average pretest score in the experimental class was 50.53 and increased to 83.47 in the post test, while the control class average increased from 49.93 to 65.73. The data passed the assumption tests, including normality and homogeneity. The results of the independent samples t-test show a significant value of < 0.005, indicating a significant difference between the experimental and control groups. The effect size (Cohen’s d = 2.985) was categories as very large. These finding demonstrate that the use of the Word Wall educational game has a significant and strong influence on students' English vocabulary mastery.
