Abstract:
The subsequent research deals with the implementation of gamification in English language teaching in Primary Education. In this way, a rigorous analysis has been made about the meaning of this methodology, the characteristics that form it and the elements and benefits that can be obtained thanks to it. This theoretical knowledge has been based on the research of some relevant authors on the subject, to take them as references for this work. Likewise, the main objective of this exploration is how working with this innovative strategy affects students and what effects it has on learning and behaviour. To this end, questionnaires have been carried out with students and education professionals from educational centres, as well as interviews with teachers from formal and non-formal educational centres, to see how gamification is implemented in one place and in the other.
