Abstract

The most appropriate period for learning a new language is considered the early childhood period, when children can learn languages easily and instinctively without, for instance, having to go through tedious textbooks. The objective of this review is to identify the best practices aimed at fostering foreign language acquisition by drawing upon previous empirical studies. The results indicate that the children's language skill development is greatly enhanced when the learning process is made fun through playful activities, and the singing and telling of stories. Structured approaches such as Total Physical Response (TPR), bilingual education, and even the active participation of the parents in the home language environment have been noted to foster language learning as well. Supporting early childhood learners and teachers with creativity and flexible instruction tailored to the rapidly growing characteristics of the children results in effective language acquisition, hence emerges as a key pillar on guiding principles towards successful language mastery. This review indicates that purposely designed instruction towards learners in their early years enhances teaching effectiveness yielding improved results while the use of active, direct, and fun-filled strategies yields better results in mastering languages.

Abstract

This study examined how gamification affected students' motivation, participation, teamwork, and learning outcomes in an English-language e-learning platform. Semi-structured interviews and structured observations were used in a qualitative case study. Sixty-two third-semester English education majors from Universitas Sulawesi Barat, Indonesia, participated in the study. They were specifically chosen from two classes that used an e-learning platform with gaming elements. The results showed that gamification components such as incentives, achievements, and challenges considerably enhanced learners' motivation, excitement, and active engagement in English learning activities. Furthermore, gamification fostered positive social interactions, including collaboration, idea-sharing, mutual support, and healthy competition among learners. The observation data corroborated these findings, demonstrating high engagement levels, effective utilization of gamification features, strong focus and persistence, and notable improvements in achieving English learning goals. The study concludes that gamification can produce interesting, fun, and productive learning environments that improve students' motivation, engagement, teamwork, and general success in learning English. It is suggested by the implications that gamification techniques be used to encourage learners' motivation, engagement, and positive social dynamics. Future studies could examine how gamification affects self-regulated learning mechanisms, intrinsic motivation, and language ability over the long run.
