Abstract

The Kenyah language is an example of one of those languages as it is not part of the main languages in the world. Due to marriage pattern and economy, the linguistic situation within the present of Kenyah community has changed. There are numerous mobile game-based language learning applications created for major languages in the world and there have been few language learning applications developed for minor languages. Kenyah language is an example of least-spoken by the Kenyah youths especially in urban areas and less attention as it is not as practical as other main languages in Sarawak. This study explores the potential use of mobile games in encouraging youths to learn Kenyah language (Lepo’ Jengan). A game-based mobile prototype in Kenyah language (Lepo’ Jengan) was designed and developed by adapting ADDIE MODEL. 15 Kenyah youths were chosen to test the prototype. The Esiu Kenyah prototype was tested with the chosen participants as an experimental group. Research findings showed that, this prototype is potentially promising in future research. The implementation of The Esiu Kenyah prototype has shown a high level of acceptance among the participants.
