Competitive digital games boost adult ESL vocabulary learning, but group-based play is better for reducing learner anxiety.
This systematic review evaluated the impact of individual and group competitive digital gamification on adult ESL learners. The findings indicate that both competitive modes significantly enhance vocabulary retention, motivation, and classroom engagement compared to non-gamified methods.
Design digital vocabulary activities that offer both solo and team-based competitive options to accommodate different learner preferences. Utilize group-based gamification to lower performance anxiety for self-conscious adult language learners while retaining the motivational benefits of play.
Integrating generative AI into 3D educational game design enables rapid prototyping of personalized and adaptive learning experiences.
Change point detection in learning analytics reveals exactly when and how different gamification strategies shift student behaviors.
For effective constructivist serious games, focus on three key design elements: learner autonomy, sensory feedback, and clear objectives.
