“…To further emphasize, language learning using game-like approaches can be exploited as a potential learning tool to arouse students' motivation, strengthen engagement, and consequently improve their learning quality (Poondej & Lerdpornkulrat, 2016;Yaccob & Yunus, 2019;Ding et al, 2020;Vargas-Macias, Rodriguez-Hernandez, & Sanchez-Saenz, 2020;Pham et al, 2021). For example, Antonaci, Klemke, and Specht (2019) have discussed the deployment of game components in Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) and found that it could increase students' engagement.…”

“…Other game elements or components used in gamification are avatars, scoring, progress bars, rating tables, and ranking displayed (Desnenko et al, 2021). Game-like engaging activities have appealing elements and clear instructions that can motivate students to learn positively (Rafiq et al, 2019b;Vargas-Macias et al, 2020). Besides, with today's technological advancement, ESL teachers can maximize technology use through various available web and application-based software.…”

Modern trends lead to innovative technologies in education, including the birth of digital and gamified learning or gamification. In English language classrooms, meaningful teaching and learning are significant to developing students’ English proficiency, focusing on linguistics and communicative competence. Various language activities and games are employed in lessons to instil anticipation for language learning. However, the concerns are how gamified learning is applied in English as a Second Language (ESL) lessons and the factors assisting students’ meaningful English learning. Therefore, this paper, based on the review of past literature, explores the application of gamification or gamified learning in ESL teaching and learning. Based on the review, the researchers highlighted that motivation, engagement, and competition in learning through a gamification approach could assist students’ meaningful ESL learning. It is found that gamification has its own motivation structure to arouse students’ active participation. The elements in games that enhance students’ engagement might improve students’ learning. Although competition naturally arouses students’ participation during ESL lessons, the findings indicated the need to create a safe environment to prevent students from feeling demotivated. This review paper contributes to the literature surrounding gamified ESL lessons.

“…De esta forma, le permite un programa personalizado que pueden compartirlo a través de Facebook, generándose una competencia con la comunidad. Otro ejemplo que mencionan Vargas et al (2020) es para el área de turismo, para lo cual se ha aplicado de una estrategia de gamificación ejecutada en Hong Kong, donde se implementó un sitio web parecido a Airbnb obteniéndose una tarjeta SuperHost para usuarios donde registran los comentarios y evaluaciones más importantes.…”

La gamificación, mediante el uso de mecánicas de juego, permite a las personas alcanzar un propósito distinto al del entretenimiento. Así, el presente estudio tiene por objetivo realizar una reflexión teórica desde el enfoque empresarial sobre la gamificación, su importancia y sus aportes en este contexto. Para ello, metodológicamente, al ser de tipo descriptiva utilizó cuatro etapas para el análisis interpretativo de documentos bibliográficos y se apoyó en los métodos teóricos como análisis-síntesis, histórico-lógico y deductivo-inductivo. Dentro de los resultados, se presentan cuatro apartados que involucran los aportes del estudio, sus elementos, contextos y aplicaciones, y sus herramientas. Finalmente, se concluye que la gamificación en el ámbito empresarial se convierte en una ventaja para los directivos, pues permite la motivación entre el personal en procesos de capacitación y la generación de un ambiente óptimo de trabajo; así como, la interacción directa con los clientes para fortalecer su percepción hacia la marca.

“…The supportive but challenging character of a game may likely improve motivation and heighten both learning knowledge and skills by allowing for the right difficulty level (for instance, tasks are neither very simple nor very difficult). Thus, these appropriate levels of difficulty ensure that the learner is engaging in activities that are just beyond the student’s knowledge but can be performed with supervision (Vargas-Macías et al 2020 ; Abougalala et al 2020 ). Supervision includes targeted developmental feedback and information to support the learning progress in this gamification task.…”

Because of the heath measures taken during the outbreak of Covid-19, the lack of educational methods has become the primary concern among educational professionals who have been using technology as a motivational tool. Gamification is very important because it helps students to represent their study contents and enrich their experiences of higher education when learning in-person is unavailable during the Covid-19 period. This study seeks to present an Android-based gamification app to evaluate the effect of using gamification and e-quizzes on college students' learning. We used the visual blocks language from the MIT App Inventor platform to develop an application, available at (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=appinventor.ai_mekomerofofo. projectGamification). The participants were students from level 2 who used digital lessons for learning MATLAB. The study included gamified learning and non-gamified learning, both integrated into lesson plans, to investigate the differences in learners' performance. Two types of quizzes were used for instruction: gamified e-quizzes and paper-based quizzes. The outcomes plainly showed that using the new gamified e-quiz was more effective than using paper-based quizzes. They are better for assessing the learning performance of the students in question, specifically in terms of formative assessment. It is very important for instructors to apply games as a modern and innovation-oriented tool through which students can be engaged in an attractive, competitive experience.
