Gamification and game-based learning in teaching english

Abstract

In recent years, there has been a major shift in the way that individuals learn languages. With technological advancements, language learning has become more interactive, engaging and entertaining than ever before. More and more learners are finding that they are able to learn a language more effectively than they would have done through traditional methods. An increasing number of studies have been carried out on the use of gamification on language learning and how it can enhance language proficiency, motivation and engagement among learners. The concept of gamification, which refers to the integration of game elements and mechanics into non-game processes or tasks, has been found to be effective in promoting learning.
