        Abstract

        Penguasaan kosakata bahasa Inggris siswa kelas V SDN Kewunen tergolong rendah, dengan nilai rata-rata baru mencapai 50% dan berada di bawah Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal (KKM) sebesar 65%. Kondisi ini disebabkan oleh dominasi metode pembelajaran konvensional serta minimnya pemanfaatan media interaktif dalam proses pembelajaran. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh model Game-Based Learning (GBL) berbantuan platform Educaplay template Froggy Jumps terhadap penguasaan kosakata bahasa Inggris dan hasil belajar siswa kelas V sekolah dasar pada materi Parts of Our Body That Work Together. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain pre-eksperimen One Group Pretest-Posttest yang melibatkan 38 siswa kelas V B SDN Kewunen, ditentukan melalui teknik sampling jenuh. Data dikumpulkan melalui tes, angket respons, dan dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan uji Paired Sample t-Test dan N-Gain Score berbantuan SPSS versi 26. Hasil uji hipotesis menunjukkan pengaruh signifikan terhadap penguasaan kosakata (t = 18,391; Sig. = 0,000) dan hasil belajar (t = 12,105; Sig. = 0,000), dengan N-Gain Score masing-masing sebesar 62,18% (kategori sedang) dan 25,37% (kategori rendah). Respons siswa terhadap penerapan model ini tergolong sangat kuat (84,78%). Temuan ini mengonfirmasi bahwa model Game-Based Learning berbantuan Educaplay efektif meningkatkan penguasaan kosakata bahasa Inggris dan hasil belajar siswa sekolah dasar, sekaligus menciptakan pembelajaran yang interaktif, menyenangkan, dan bermakna.
