Abstract

This study investigates the impact of gamification on motivation, engagement, and assessment anxiety among adult learners in an ESL grammar classroom. With the increasing adoption of digital learning tools, understanding their effects on adult learners, especially in language acquisition, is crucial. Participants in this study were adult learners at a beginner English proficiency level, who engaged in a grammar assessment through the Kahoot platform. The assessment included various grammar tasks designed to evaluate comprehension and retention. Employing thematic analysis of the data revealed significant findings: gamification led to improved motivation and engagement, enhanced visual learning, decreased test anxiety, and heightened enjoyment. These outcomes suggest that integrating gamification into ESL grammar teaching can create a more dynamic and inclusive learning environment, catering to diverse learning styles. The research underscores the potential of gamification not just in teaching, but also in evaluating student comprehension effectively. The study calls for further studies to explore the long-term impacts of gamification and its applicability across different stages of ESL learning. Keywords: ESL grammar, Adult learning, gamification, motivation, test anxiety

Abstract

This phenomenological study explores the lived experiences of adult English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners integrating PowerPoint presentations into their classroom oral presentations. Data was collected from undergraduate students from Bangladesh and USA from semi-structured interviews. Following Braun and Clarke's (2006) thematic analysis, data were analyzed. The findings showed that the use of PowerPoint presentations was found to foster learners' autonomy and personalized learning. In addition, adult EFL learners employed various strategies to navigate the challenges. The study offers a detailed perspective on how PowerPoint supports the presentation of oral content, the obstacles learners encounter, and their strategic solutions to optimize learning, thereby promoting autonomy and personalized education. This research will contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of EFL learning and offers practical implications for utilizing PowerPoint effectively in EFL classrooms. Further research is recommended to extend this exploration into diverse EFL contexts and demographic groups. Keywords: Learners technology, PowerPoint, oral presentation, EFL learners
