GAMIFICATION IN ENGLISH LEARNING CONTEXT: ASSESSING THE EFFECTS OF DEVELOPING LANGUAGE COMPETENCE
Keywords:
Gamification, English learning, Language competenceAbstract
This paper examines the effects of gamification in the English learning context on developing language competence. Gamification involves integrating game elements, such as points, badges, and challenges, into language learning activities to enhance engagement and motivation. The study finds that gamification improves learner engagement, motivation, and language skills acquisition. It promotes collaboration, provides personalized learning experiences, and facilitates continuous assessment and progress tracking. Gamification creates an immersive and interactive environment that fosters active participation and immediate feedback, leading to enhanced language proficiency. The findings highlight the potential of gamification as an effective pedagogical approach to support English language learners in their language competence development.
