Abstract

Traditional TESOL classes, which are teaching English as a foreign language in countries that do not have English as native language, often prefer a more teacher-cantered style of classroom management. Technology was not often integrated in TESOL classrooms. The field of technology-integrated TESOL education continues to change as new technologies are developed, and as research continues to demonstrate which teaching methods are most effective at promoting language acquisition. Gamification has positive effects on English language learners’ motivation and vocabulary. English language learners expressed gamified lessons as their preferred technique. Thus, this study aimed to study English language learners in TESOL classrooms in China’s experiences and opinions about gamification, in order to inform the field the necessities of integrating gamification in TESOL classroom in China.
