“…Although previous researchers criticized the short duration of experiments in gamification studies [ 24 , 30 , 31 ], the selected articles did not yield overly pessimistic findings: if the eight non-specified cases are regarded as on-spot experiments, which is of high possibility, the number of long-term studies was still over half (11 out of 21). The data collection processes for the five studies were longer than eight weeks.…”

“…One solution is to focus on educational content rather than game elements. It was suggested that gamification should be a holistic, creative and structured process [ 9 ] or a good and careful design on learning materials [ 31 ]. It was not specified how to gamify the learning process or learning materials, which should be addressed in future studies.…”

“…There were methodological limitations. The effectiveness of FLL-gamification studies is limited by several methodological factors such as the absence of control groups [ 37 ], inadequate control of variables [ 17 , 48 ], limited duration of investigation [ 31 , 49 ], and small sample size [ 17 , 37 , 50 , 51 ]. For instance, Murad, Wang, Turnbull and Wang [ 51 ] acknowledged that the major limitation of their work is that they conducted a small and short-term pilot study, and Purgina, Mozgovoy and Blake [ 2 ] noted that the experiment is hard to perform because the sample size is limited.…”

Gamification has emerged as a promising approach for foreign language learning (FLL), which refers to the use of game design elements to engage learners or improve academic performance. However, the features of gamification studies in FLL and their effectiveness are unclear. Additionally, how previous studies measured the effectiveness of gamified FLL tools is not well understood. In this systematic review, this author addressed these questions based on 21 empirical studies. The findings revealed that the effectiveness of gamified tools in FLL was mixed, with some bringing positive changes, others negative changes, and some showing no differences. The factors that influenced the effectiveness include methodological limitations, biases in the experiment setting, technical limitations, individual differences, failure to achieve meaningful gamification, a mixture of element selection, sub-optimal measurement, and data interpretation biases. This study identified research gaps in previous studies and offers suggestions for future research in this area.

“…In his study, Crăciun (2019) identifies that integrating technology in language classes can transform learning based on English language teachers' perceptions. Kurniawan et al (2019) have developed a gamified mobile application called Shadowingu for teaching the Japanese language. The developed gamification application was preferred by students and impact positively on their motivation because it has a direct feedback element whether they give is correct or not.…”

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.

“…Another example of a smartphone application related to learning a specific language is for the Japanese language, the study in [9] used a technic named shadowing. This technic is famous in Japan supports learner to learn Japanese language by hearing a recorded speech and the learner try to pronounce a word or sentence correctly, and repeat the process as much as possible to reach a perfect level.…”

In this era, technology has a great impact on the educational system as they have on the other different areas of today’s life, for instance, smartphone devices are the best examples. Software technology vendors moving toward developing tremendous applications in the education field. However, the lack of applications that satisfy the ambition of those wishing to learn the Kurdish language is still an obstacle in this field, specifically the field of smartphone devices technology and gaming industry. Hence smartphone devices become user-friendly and necessary tools in every individuals’ life, as it is a multi-function device. In this paper we designed and implemented a smartphone application to learn the Kurdish language and improve vocabulary via a serious game. The application designed for android devices, enables users to learn and improve the Kurdish language. The application is also suitable for foreign people who desire to learn the Kurdish language. The system proposed in this paper introduces a smartphone application with an acceptable user interface for an exciting, interesting and challenging puzzle game at a time. The main goal is to learn Kurdish vocabulary using crossword puzzle, solving hidden words, find and circle the crossword in the puzzle solution in the context of a serious game.
