According to this paper the effectiveness of gamification in teaching English to Generation Z students within blended learning environments is reviewed.

Findings demonstrate that gamification noticeably enhances motivation, fosters collaborative learning, and it also improves language retention among Generation Z learners. Moreover, the incorporation of game mechanics like points, badges, and leaderboards not only formulate a challenging yet supportive learning atmosphere but also furnish to the digital natives' preferences for interactive and engaging educational experiences. The discussion accentuate the necessity for instructors to integrate gamification thoughtfully to maximize its benefits while refraining potential deficiency such as overemphasis on competition. Suggestions for future research involve exploring the long-term effects of gamification and its applicability across various educational environment, as well as exploring the potential of gamification to aid distinguished instruction. |
