This research study examines the impact of using mock IPL (Indian Premier League) auctions as a teaching tool in language learning, with particular focus on business vocabulary development and understanding of business concepts among undergraduate business administration students. The study included 45 participants who met specific inclusion and eligibility criteria. It uses a research design that includes a mock IPL auction performance evaluation conducted before and after the intervention. Assessment methods include pre- and performance tests that assess speaking skills, vocabulary quizzes that measure business-related vocabulary development, and surveys that gather qualitative feedback on participants' experiences. Findings reveal significant improvements in speaking skills, significant improvements in business-related vocabulary, and positive qualitative perceptions of the IPL simulation. This study supports the hypothesis that exposing language learners to mock IPL auction performance contributes not only to improved vocabulary but also to a deeper understanding of business concepts. This highlights the potential synergies between the IPL bidding environment and language education, emphasizing the value of experiential learning in language acquisition and business-related learning.
