Reading is considered one of the main skills that English as a foreign language learner needs to acquire successfully in their studies and lives.

One of the suggested solutions to improve their reading is integrating serious games in the educational process since that serious games have been successfully applied in many disciplines. Still, there is a lack of research that explores the best practice of using serious games in classrooms. Hence, this paper aims to examine the effects of a serious game and blended learning model called lab rotation on students’ achievement in reading.
