Abstract
Gamification has become a revolutionary method of teaching English at a time where learners' expectations and behaviors are shaped by digital involvement. The use of gamified teaching methods in Uzbekistani EFL classes is examined in this paper, with a focus on secondary school students moving from CEFR A2 to B1 levels. The study makes the case that gamification increases motivation, engagement, and language skill retention by referencing pertinent research, learner feedback, and personal classroom experiences.
