المستخلص

This study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of using gamification in enhancing motivation towards English Language (EL) learning of preparatory schoolers. It adopted the pre/ post-test quasi-experimental research design. The participants were 64 first year schoolers at Al-Sayeda Nafisa Preparatory School for Girls, Kom Ombo Administration, Aswan Governorate. They represented two classrooms which were randomly selected and assigned into two groups; an experimental group (n=32) and a control group (n=32). The experimental group received instruction by using the gamification program, while the control group was taught the same lessons as provided in the Teacher's Guide. The researcher designed a Motivation Towards EL learning Scale (MTELLS) which was validated and administered to both groups for equivalence in their motivation towards EL learning before carrying out the experiment. The MTELLS was post-administered to the two groups. The statistically analysis of the obtained data confirmed a large effect size 0.96 of using the gamification program in enhancing motivation towards EL learning of the experimental group. Based on these results, it was revealed that the experimental group enhanced their motivation towards EL learning because of using the gamification based program.
