The research investigates how playing the online game Mobile Legends contributes to the English vocabulary development of students. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative approach, data was collected through observations, questionnaires, and documentation from six respondents who are 4th-semester students in the English Education Department at Universitas Muhammadiyah Ponorogo during the 2023/2024 academic year. The findings indicate a positive perception among respondents, who agreed that their vocabulary knowledge expanded while playing Mobile Legends. Participants noted that engaging with the game allowed them to learn new vocabulary, particularly through interactions with foreign players, primarily in English. This exposure was crucial as it motivated them to enhance their English skills for better communication and teamwork within the game. The study highlights that the game serves as an effective medium for language learning, as students not only enjoy the gameplay but also gain valuable language skills. The results suggest that integrating online games like Mobile Legends into educational practices could significantly benefit vocabulary acquisition among students.
