Gamification in language learning: the effectiveness of interactive methods

Abstract

EN: This study explores the effectiveness of interactive methods in English language acquisition, focusing on game-based learning, digital tools, and collaborative platforms. Through a review of recent empirical studies and classroom applications, the research identifies key gamification strategies, such as point systems, leaderboards, rewards, and role-playing that significantly improve learners' linguistic performance and communicative competence. The findings suggest that when aligned with pedagogical goals, gamified environments foster deeper cognitive involvement and support a learner-centered model of instruction.
