“…Some related studies show how games use themselves is not a solution for increasing motivation. Cultural and situational factors play a role in games' effectiveness [32] along with voluntary participation, which significantly increases motivation although the use of games is appreciated even if participation is not voluntary [33] although other studies mention a correlation with improved academic performance even when participation is not voluntary [34]. Anyway, the inclusion of games would have a positive effect on intrinsic need satisfaction [35].…”

After the CoVid-19 pandemic lockdown occurred (2020–2021), there have been crucial changes in teaching-learning methodologies, mainly because of the emergency online education format, due to the high demand for online education formats. Long hours of learning in front of a screen besides the stressful environment surrounding the pandemic make it difficult to keep learning motivation high, which shows the need for an urgent change in instructional design. This change includes using interactive and participative methodologies for tackling the anxiety produced by the global health crisis. In this frame, gamification tools have emerged worldwide entailing significant benefits to education. Nevertheless, the overuse of technology can lead to several problems including physiological complications among other things, myopia, diabetes, and coronary disease risk (because of sedentariness) and even addiction. Finally, research proves that an adequate frame around technology use and games inclusion in learning can help diminish or even avoid social problems such as addiction and the resulting concentration problems. Furthermore, in the case of active video gaming, it might be advisable for alleviating sedentary habit-related diseases. Therefore, it is important to reflect on the use of games and its objectives for obtaining the best results from powerful strategic motivators.

In the modern digital age, educational technologies have become valuable resources that effectively support language learning and facilitate the development of various language skills. Among these skills, listening proficiency is of paramount importance as it is indispensable for effective communication and comprehension. With the increasing popularity of communicative approaches, the integration of educational technologies into language instruction has gained momentum due to their ability to provide learners with authentic listening experiences, exposure to diverse accents, and targeted practice opportunities. Considering the potential advantages of these technologies, the present study explores the efficacy of VoScreen in enhancing listening skills at the tertiary level. The study included 45 EFL learners at the tertiary level. Quantitative data were gathered through a pretest and a posttest while qualitative data were obtained through an evaluation and suggestion form. The findings revealed a statistically significant difference in learners' pretest and posttest listening scores. Moreover, learners' evaluations highlighted the contribution of VoScreen to their success in the target skill and other sub-skills. This study sheds light on the promising potential of educational technologies for enhancing learners' listening abilities.
