Speaker
Description
This presentation explores the innovative integration of gamified digital tools in English Language Teaching (ELT) to support young learners' emotional well-being and language learning. Combining motivational elements like challenges, rewards, and interactivity with mindfulness strategies, these tools create a dynamic and supportive learning space. The aim is to provide insights into how gamification not only sustains young learners' engagement but also cultivates emotional resilience, aiding their capacity to manage stress and maintain focus. By merging motivation with mindfulness, gamified tools offer a dual benefit—enhancing linguistic proficiency while promoting mental well-being. The presentation also highlights the transformative potential of such tools, demonstrating how they foster positive emotions, intrinsic motivation, and self- awareness among young learners. Moreover, it seeks to suggest that that gamification tailored to emotional needs can significantly enhance learners’ academic and personal development, setting a new precedent for learner-centered methodologies in ELT.
