Abstract

Abstract. This article explores the connection between word-card games and the acquisition of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) from an Islamic perspective. Word-card games have gained popularity as an effective tool for enhancing vocabulary acquisition, language skills, and learner interaction. Islamic education emphasizes holistic development, encompassing moral values and spiritual growth alongside intellectual pursuits. The use of word-card games in EFL instruction aligns with Islamic educational principles by creating an interactive and engaging learning environment that promotes active engagement, collaboration, ethics, and linguistic competence. This article highlights the significance of word-card games in EFL acquisition within an Islamic context, offering insights into the potential benefits and implications for educators. The integration of word-card games in EFL instruction can bridge the gap between language learning and Islamic values, empowering learners to develop language proficiency while embracing ethical conduct and character building. Further research is needed to explore the specific impacts and outcomes of word-card games within Islamic education, providing educators with valuable guidance for designing culturally and spiritually
