Summary/Abstract: In recent years, the digitalization of education has reshaped the way we teach English (ELT). As technology continues to permeate classrooms around the globe, educators focus on digital tools to enhance both teaching practices and student engagement. From interactive online platforms to language learning apps, digital resources are making English instruction more accessible, flexible, and efficient. Among the most innovative approaches to emerge in this digital transformation is gamification. Gamification is to be understood as a technique that applies game-like elements to non-game contexts. Gamification has proven to be particularly effective in ELT, helping to motivate learners, engage the in classroom activities and improve language retention. By merging digitalization with game-based learning strategies, educators can create dynamic, enjoyable, and interactive learning environments that support the diverse needs of modern language learners.
