“…It is significant to take advantage of new technology to create a more motivational environment for learners. Alomair and Hammami (2019) state that one of the straight advantages of inexperienced persons within the twenty-first century is the potential to learn second languages since mastering the second language became a more technologycentered design. They continue to say that the gamification concept can be used adaptably to learn a second language in the present-day.…”

It can be seen that emerging technology has positively affected learning in several aspects. Recently gamiﬁcation has been implemented noticeably in online learning and teaching. Gamification has shown its effectiveness in students' integration of the education process by increasing students' integration with the teaching material and increasing their competence. Learning and teaching a new language is a complicated and strenuous process, so learners usually need to be motivated. Gamification can play a role in further encouraging learners. This study conducted the systematic literature review methodology to demonstrate gamification in teaching and learning new languages over the three databases Web of Science, Science Direct, and Scopus. The study includes 103 studies that have been published between 2010-2020. The study finding reveals that gamiﬁcation can be a useful tool for teaching and learning languages and can increase learners' motivation and turn to learn into an enjoyable process. It is recommended that further research be conducted in language education, focusing on gamification in learning the four primary language skills.

Purpose Gamification is an emerging technique of applying game elements to difficult and tedious learning activities to make them fun and exciting. This study aims to review the scientific landscape of the library’s readiness to adopt gamification with context to application in teaching and learning purposes based on computational tools. The present research also aims to study the growth of literature on gamification, to identify the most contributing authors, countries, affiliations and journals and collaboration status with different geographical settings. The study will also identify the most influential paper on the area with the highest citation and Altmetric Attention Score (AAS) as well as analyzing the keywords for locating the research trend in the subject area. Design/methodology/approach The study has adopted Scientometric and Altmetric approach by considering the research outputs of a decade (2013–2022) from Scopus database. First, the required data has been searched using appropriate keywords forming the search strategy by running title–abstract–keywords considering the limitation in the system. The exported data is systematically visualized for performing science mapping like the collaboration of authors, countries, organizations and co-occurrence of keywords using VOSviewer. For finding the Altmetrics score and Mendeley readership of the influential research works, the system Dimension.ai is further used. Findings The study found 928 records indicating an exponential growth over the years with total 2,750 authors. Samuel Kai Wah Chu from the University of Hong Kong, China, is the most contributed author. Spain and the USA are highly productive countries, but there needs to be a strong collaboration pattern among authors. It is found that gamification is widely applied in education discipline than any other. Some of the libraries have already implemented gamification tools for learning purposes in their services. The research on gamification still lacks social media attention and needs to be promoted more through various social media platforms for greater visibility. Originality/value The study explores the global scientific literature to identify the library’s awareness of implementing gamification tools in their services for teaching and learning purposes. As per the author’s knowledge, no such study has been conducted until date with such aims and objectives through the application of both Scientometrics and Altmetrics approaches.

Importance. The development of gamification technologies in the practice of teaching activities is considered. The process of formation and development of gamification concepts in domestic and foreign education is analyzed, the main approaches to the specification of the term “gamification” are identified, it is emphasized that gamification, unlike many gaming practices, has a nonimitation nature, where, based on certain rules, an educational result is achieved.Materials and Methods. An overview of the results of foreign empirical studies of gamification is presented, the identified positive effects of technology application and promising directions of its study are shown.Results and Discussion. Structural and content types of gamification are identified, including the main elements and mechanisms of this pedagogical technology. The potential of pedagogical technology in the field of motivational orientation, involvement and immersion of students in the educational process is emphasized. The distinctive features and possible negative trends in the use of gamification in the educational process are identified.Conclusion. Gamification technologies make it possible to implement most didactic principles and implement sociocultural, communicative, self-development, therapeutic, correctional and entertaining pedagogical functions.
