<![CDATA[This study explored the use of L1 (Bahasa Indonesia) in EFL classrooms, specifically in form-focused tasks for grammar acquisition, using a gamified approach. This study was designed as analytical descriptive, employing a survey of students’ attitudes toward the use of L1 using a gamified approach in grammar acquisition and a reflective teaching journal of the lecturer using L1 in form-focused tasks. The participants of this research were 154 university students. The result revealed that the EFL students have a positive attitude toward the use of Bahasa Indonesia with a gamified approach in form-focused tasks. They further admitted that the judicious use of Bahasa Indonesia enabled them to acquire grammatical knowledge. Based on the lecturer’s reflective teaching journals, this study found that the lecturer needed to empower its potential and address shortcomings to achieve the goal of this approach to modifying the L1 use with gamification in EFL classrooms to be a productive means of grammar learning.]]>
