Abstract: This article aims to explore the effect of applying gamification in English language skills as a pedagogical approach to enhance students’ academic performance in university settings. The researchers employed a mixed-method approach to examine the impact of gamification on English language skills. Gamification involves integrating game elements and mechanics into non-game contexts, such as educational activities. The article examined the effect of gamification and its implementation in teaching English language skills in university settings. The study finds out that gamification offers a promising avenue for promoting engagement, motivation, and proficiency in teaching English language skills. However, further research is needed to investigate gamified learning environments' long-term effects and optimal design principles.
