Abstract

Intellectually disabled students, often referred to as mentally retarded, presented unique challenges in their academic pursuits. Their cognitive limitations were characterized by difficulties in comprehending language, including words, phrases, numerical concepts, and resulted in difficulties in social interactions, communication, and comprehension. To address these challenges, one effective teaching strategy was the utilization of the Snakes and Ladders game as a tool for vocabulary development. This study employed a quantitative research design,with a sample of 10 intelletually disabled students enrolled in Junior High School at SLB (Sekolah Luar Biasa) Negeri 1 Pinrang during the 2022-2023 academic year serving as the research subjects. The data collection instrument utilized in this study consisted of both a vocabulary test and a questionnaire administred to the participants. The study aimed to assess the efficacy of using the Snake and Ladders game as an instructional tool for vocabulary development in intellectually disabled students. The result of the study indicated a significant difference in the mean scores of the pre-test (63.32) and post-test (73.56) administered to the students of the junior high school at SLB (Sekolah Luar Biasa ) Negeri 1 Pinrang. The T-test showed a significant value (2-tailed) of 0.000, which was greater than 0.5, and the P-value (0.000) was lower than the level of significance (alpha (a)=0.05). This led to the acceptence of the null hypothesis, HI. The researcher concluded that the utilization of the Snake and Ladders game was effective in improving the vocabulary ability of the students and received positive responses from them in the process of learning English vocabulary. Based on the data analysis, the researcher determined that the Snakes and Ladders game effectively enhanched the vocabulary ability and elicited favorable responses from the junior high school students at SLB (Sekolah Luar Biasa) Negeri 1 Pinrang.
