Abstract


Education is a very important need for the next generation of the nation for life in the future. Education needs are also very necessary for children with special needs, especially children with intellectual disabilities or children with mental disabilities. Teaching and learning activities for children with special needs are not easy, educators must adjust the right method or media. When we learn English, especially for speaking, vocabularies become one of the elements that must be learnt.  As for learning English, some teachers or students find difficulties to master English because they do not know the vocabulary. They also have difficulty to speak, write and memorize the vocabulary. Much less for especially children with intellectual disabilities or children with mental disabilities it is really hard thing to do. They need some media to help them in speaking and memorizing the vocabularies well. SEGA (Speaking English Game) media is one of the interactive media designed to help them in speaking skill.
