Boosting Learner Engagement in English Language Education: From Teacher-centered Practices to Gamified Approaches
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: the 21st century needs new pedagogical models to sustain learner interest in English Language Education. Traditional teacher-oriented models, while past successes in control and content delivery, are likely to limit active learner involvement and motivation. This study examines the paradigm shift from traditional teacher-centered models to gamified models, of particular interest regarding the role of game-based principles, competition, collaboration, reward systems, and immersive challenges, in enhancing engagement, motivation, and learning achievement. The study deals with gamification and engagement theories, criticizes instructor-led instruction, and recommends evidence-based solutions for transforming conventional practice into gamified practice.
