Gamification, the application of game elements in educational processes, has become a popular tool for increasing students’ interest in learning English. This article explores how game elements such as points, rewards, levels, and competitions can enhance students’ motivation and engagement. Based on an analysis of current approaches, the article examines the benefits of gamification, including increased learner motivation, improved participation and the creation of an engaging learning environment. The paper also addresses challenges associated with implementation, notably the demand for technological infrastructure and the need for adequate teacher training. The results show that gamification can significantly improve the language learning process if it is adapted to students’ needs. The conclusion offers recommendations for teachers and directions for further research.
