- Abstract
The relevance of this study is due to the need for searching perspective ways to organize interactive learning for modern students of generation Y and Z, who are highly involved in computer games. As an interactive teaching method it is proposed to introduce gamification elements into the educational process. The aim of the study is to obtain experimental results of the gamification elements influence in the process of language training of students of technical and managerial areas on their academic progress. The main research method is a pedagogical experiment (stating, formative and control stages). Theoretical research methods were also used, including analysis, comparison and synthesis of scientific results. Empirical methods were used - summarizing and grouping of research results, information processing software. Interview and observation methods were used to collect primary information. For the first time, the progress in students’ studies and their attendance during language training with elements of gamification was experimentally recorded. This was due to increased motivation, engagement and cohesion of students with a more marked result for the technical students. The authors’ experience in developing the methodology of the game and the results of its implementation will be useful for further gamification of language training.
