Game-Based Learning refers to an educational approach that incorporates elements and mechanics of the game into the learning process to improve engagement, motivation and knowledge retention. It involves the use of games or game-like activities to teach and strengthen educational concepts and skills. Grammar is an important aspect of language proficiency; many students struggle to understand the complex rules and structures that govern grammatical concepts. Students’ grammar problems become a significant obstacle in language learning. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to identify the effectiveness of game-based learning (GBL) methods in grammar learning based on previous studies from 2019 to 2023. The main data search databases of Google Scholar, Education of Resources Information Center (ERIC) and Scopus were used to identify articles related to the effectiveness of game-based learning (GBL) methods in grammar learning. A total of 829 articles identified were related to the articles search for the title of this study based on the keywords used. The articles that were selected because they met the criteria and qualifications at the end of the selection process were 17 articles. The findings showed that the GBL approach in grammar learning can improve students' academic achievement, increase student motivation and increase student involvement in learning activities. The findings are expected to encourage the play methods approach in learning to provide added value to students to master grammar.
