As a result, it is less motivating for students to rely solely on their daily routines to improve their vocabulary storage. As the meanings of new words are frequently highlighted, vocabulary learning is seen as both a necessary and challenging component in learning any foreign language. Because of this, teachers of English should employ practical strategies to maintain student’s interest and excitement for language. One of these techniques is to teach vocabulary more efficiently via educational games. Therefore, the goal of the current research study is to investigate the effect of using educational games on learner’s vocabulary knowledge. The research was conducted at Brothers Lourak Middle School in Borj Bou Arreridj. The study population consisted of 125 students and the sample consisted of 44 students who were between the age of twelve and thirteen. It dealt with 1st year EFL pupils and all of them were nonnative speakers. The participants were divided into two groups; a control and an experimental group. The experimental group received instruction through educational games, whereas the control group was instructed through a traditional manner, and both groups were given access to a vocabulary-based test that was presented as a pre-test and a post-test. The investigation was based on a quasi-experimental design. The data was analyzed in order to see whether the findings are positive or negative concerning the effect of educational games as a teaching technique to develop learners’ vocabulary. The findings suggest that using educational games as a teaching technique is effective in enhancing students’ vocabulary. The experimental group outperformed the control group in the post-test, and inferential statistics proved a statistically significant difference between the two groupsItem The Role of the teacher in enhancing the warming up activities and classroom interaction Case study: Third-Year Middle School -Touati Larbi –Bordj Bou Arreridj(جامعة محمد البشير الابراهيمي - برج بوعريريج -, 2023) Sabrina Zouaoui, Houda far; Warda Atamn;The aim of this study is to investigate the role of teachers in enhancing warming up activities and classroom interaction.

Moreover, vocabulary tends to be forgotten if it is not acquired and used through the right methods, which will provide learners with language input in a genuine target language environment. In this regard, the increasing access to different multimedia and technology resources facilitates spontaneous vocabulary acquisition for contemporary age learners. In particular, movies with subtitles can be a great tool for bringing students closer to authentic real life communication vocabulary. Previous studies have found several benefits to using subtitled movies by confirming that subtitles indeed improve vocabulary learning. The present research had the aim of determining whether watching English subtitled movies helps students improve their vocabulary, and whether learners find it an engaging and useful tool for developing their vocabulary. The methods used include a questionnaire and an experiment between two groups of learners, where one group watched a movie with subtitles while the other did not. The results of this study indicate that using English subtitled movies as a tool for language learning has been found to be effective for both teachers and learners. This method allows learners to immerse themselves in the language in an engaging way, improving their listening, reading, and vocabulary skills. For teachers, incorporating subtitled movies into lesson plans can create a more dynamic and authentic learning experience, leading to better retention and comprehension of the language.
