Abstract

This paper evaluated the tabletop game Isabuhay as a strategy for teaching language in college level. The first part of the paper discusses the concept of game-based learning and its examples in different disciplines. This is followed by the discussion of the experiences of the students and the teacher in using the game as part of their class. Lastly, the game was evaluated using the principles of game-based learning by James Paul Gee. In the evaluation, the game was able to follow the principles of "empowered learner" and the creation of space for problem-solving and understanding, however, there are parts of the game that can still be developed further, like clearer directions, timely scheduling of the game in line with the classes 'topics, and developing of the progression of difficulty as the game progresses towards the end game.
