GAMIFICATION TECHNIQUES IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLASSROOMS: MOTIVATING STUDENTS THROUGH PLAY-BASED LEARNING

Аннотация

This thesis explores the use of gamification techniques in foreign language classrooms and their impact on student motivation. In modern education, play-based learning methods serve as effective tools to engage learners actively and enhance their interest in the subject. The study highlights the role of digital platforms such as Quizlet, Kahoot!, and Duolingo in developing the four core language skills: listening, reading, writing, and speaking. By incorporating elements of competition, rewards, and collaboration, gamification fosters a positive and dynamic learning environment that increases student participation and improves learning outcomes.
