Both groups are taught the regular English Critical Reading course by the researcher. Only the experimental group is assigned to play the instructional game as a supplementary practice. The game to supplement English Critical Reading is done once a week during their spare time for 4 weeks. The research instruments employed are a multiple-choice English comprehension reading test and a questionnaire. The test is used as a pretest and post-test for both groups. The scores of pretest and post-test were analyzed by using SPSS for windows.
