However, idioms rarely being included in the lesson of English, as many teachers choose to let learners learn them on their own. Learning idioms can be a dreadful experience for ESL learners as idioms are commonly used by native speakers and not oftenly used by ESL learners. Thus, a board game called 'Idioms Hunter: Journey Beyond Words' was designed to help ESL learners to acquire a better knowledge of idioms. This board game was inspired by the famous snake and ladder board game. However, 'Idioms Hunter' will give players a better experience as they will be playing to solve the mission by answering questions on idioms. This educational game will work as a stimulant to catch and captivate students' attention in learning idioms. | ||
