Abstract

Gamification technology in language learning fosters a more interactive, motivating, and personalized learning experience, which can make the process more effective and enjoyable for learners. By integrating game mechanics into educational platforms, language learners can enjoy a fun and interactive experience while simultaneously improving their language skills. This article explores the pivotal role that gamification technologies play in enhancing the process of learning languages.
