Abstract
With the rapid development of game-based word memorization apps, little evidence suggests that it to some extent, affects students' vocabulary acquisition. This paper aims to identify whether mobile learning apps with game functions would have a positive influence on primary school students' English word learning. Also, this paper describes the function, acceptability, and problem, thereby providing several suggestions for game-based English vocabulary learning apps. The conclusion is that mobile game-based vocabulary learning app largely motivates students to learn English words.
