Abstract

Abstract 
This article explores the intersection of Ludic Pedagogy and Second Language 
Acquisition  (SLA).  As  traditional  rote  memorization  faces  criticism  for  low 
engagement  levels,  gamification—the  application  of game-design  elements  in  non-
game  contexts—offers  a  promising  alternative.  This  study  examines  how  digital 
platforms such as Kahoot! and Quizlet impact lexical retention and student motivation.
