Vocabulary mastery is the most critical element in learning English, and it can be obtained by applying games in teaching-learning activities designed for millennial teens. This study aims to identify whether the eight-grader students taught using the "Know Your Dictionary" game had higher vocabulary mastery than those who did not. Using a quasi-experimental design, the study was conducted on the eighth grade of Junior High School of Ma'arif 2 Pamekasan. It had two groups to be investigated; they were A class as experimental group and B class as the control group. The instruments of this study were tests and documentation. The study verified Wright's theory that students could foster their vocabulary through games. The research results indicate a significant impact of treatment on the students' vocabulary mastery. The students given treatment using the "Know Your Dictionary" game had higher vocabulary mastery than those taught conventionally. The experimental group's post-test results are proven to be higher than their pre-test scores and those of the control group. It confirms that the game effectively fostered the students' vocabulary mastery

In recent years, Chinese students have begun to learn English from primary school being as English became very popular. However, some monotonous, boring, and mechanized traditional teaching makes plenty of Chinese primary school students not interested in English, which brings difficulties to the English learning of Chinese pupils. Primary school students are in a critical period of language learning. For Chinese primary school English teachers, it is very necessary to use scientific and effective teaching strategies to stimulate pupils' interest in English learning. Specifically, this paper reviews five representative and effective teaching strategies: 1) Using music in English class, 2) Integrating games in English class, 3) Adopting heuristic teaching, 4) Taking part in a variety of English extracurricular activities, 5) Making emotional communication between teachers and pupils. The unique value of this paper lies in analyzing the contents and characteristics of the five stimulating strategies integrally, arguing five representative teaching strategies can effectively stimulate Chinese primary school students' interest in English learning and can inspire English teachers in China to apply these stimulating strategies synthetically to teach English.
