THE IMPORTANCE OF GAMIFICATION IN TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGES

Abstract

The idea of gamification has drawn more attention in studies on foreign
language instruction over the past few years since it shows promise for enhancing
motivation and student engagement. Gamification, according to the paper's authors, has
the potential to be a cutting-edge and effective technique for assisting students in
overcoming obstacles related to motivation. One of the most important things to address
in language learning and teaching is the disparity in academic success amongst pupils.
The application of gamification in the sphere of education greatly facilitates individual
growth and reinforces the teaching and learning process by fostering a supportive
environment. Learners have the flexibility to advance at their own speed, receive
individualized feedback, and have great internal motivation due to the reinforcement of
their own skills and talents through gamification. Differentiation can occur as long as
the learning process satisfies each learner's needs. This study examines the motivational
underpinnings of gamification in language acquisition and presents the most significant
findings from that research.
