Title in different languages: Escape Rooms as a tool of English language teaching

Abstract: The main objective of this study is to show the benefits of using gamification to teach English as a second language. We focus on a concrete tool, Escape Rooms. An experimental study has been carried out in 6th grade students from Primary Education. A statistical analysis of the data has showed that the experimental group determines that the use of the Escape Room as a tool increases the amount of vocabulary acquired, since they are more motivated and engaged while doing a gamified task.
