As of 2022, people started to regard playing games as an everyday pastime. High school students have more alternatives than only PC and smartphone games now that educational games started to ingratiate themselves into many facets of life. Games have an impact on people's social lives as well as their educational lives. Therefore, in a setting where people are continuously surrounded by games, educators cannot help but incorporate the gamification strategy into their classroom activities. The study's goal is to determine how EFL students perceive the impacts of gamification on language acquisition. Participants in the study were given a 29-item questionnaire where they were asked to submit their thoughts on the gamification method.
