Gamification in language learning isn’t just about collecting stars or leveling up—it’s about unlocking deeper motivation, designing playful yet purposeful learning experiences, and transforming students into active, joyful participants in their language journey. In this episode, we go far beyond the usual “points and badges” approach to explore how real game design thinking can supercharge your teaching. From neuroscience to storytelling, tools to techniques, research to role-play—you’re in for a quest worth embarking on.
