Abstract
This study investigates the implementation of game-based learning methods in teaching Indonesian language at the elementary school level. Using a qualitative approach through an interview with a classroom teacher, the findings reveal that game-based methods can enhance student motivation, engagement, and comprehension of language materials. Although the use of games is more common in subjects like mathematics, their application in language lessons also shows promising outcomes. The teacher highlighted that while games cannot dominate the curriculum, they are effective when integrated selectively. Additionally, the teacher expressed a positive attitude toward professional development through online seminars and informal training to enrich teaching strategies.
