Considerable changes have occurred in language learning with the introduction of gameful approaches in the classroom and the increase in the popularity of language applications like Duolingo. A review of existing studies on such approaches to language learning shows that gamification tends to be the most popular approach. However, this popularity has been achieved at the expense of other gameful approaches, such as the use of digital games. To gain a clearer picture of the developments and gaps in the digital game-based learning research, this paper examines and categorizes observations about game elements used in published papers (n = 114) where serious and digital games were tested in language education settings. Game element analysis reveals that (1) the most frequently occurring elements in digital game-based language learning (DGBLL) are feedback, theme, points, narrative, and levels; (2) even though there was significant variance in the number of elements observed in DGBLL, both the bespoke and off-the-shelf games show similar high-frequency elements; (3) DGBLL has been applied to vocabulary acquisition and retention in many cases, but lacks implementation and testing in input and output language skills; (4) although there is some consensus on the most frequent elements, the design patterns of common elements according to age group and target language skill show considerable variance; (5) more research is needed on less common design elements that have shown promise in encouraging language acquisition. The synthesis of information from the collected papers contributes to knowledge regarding DGBLL application design and will help formulate guidelines and detect efficacy patterns as the field continues to grow.

“…Nevertheless, they can also engage students in online training courses with fun challenges, friendly competition, and immediate feedback (McLaughlin & Yan, 2017 ). Most studies report the effectiveness of gamified learning in formative assessment (e.g., Arif et al, 2019 ; Ismail et al, 2019 ; Kapsalis et al, 2020 ; Kickmeier-Rust et al, 2014 ; Şad & Özer, 2019 ). In the meantime, research that empirically investigates how gamification implementation is an instructional and digital assessment intervention in online classrooms during the epidemic is scarce.…”

“…They are excellent for engaging distant students in real-time collaboration on predetermined questions and obstacles (Chaiyo & Nokham, 2017 ). Numerous studies have been conducted on Kahoot and Quizizz as gamification platforms for student learning (e.g., Goksün & Gürsoy, 2019 ; Kapsalis et al, 2020 ). Thus, the current study seeks to extend previous work and fill the research gaps regarding their use during the pandemic and continued application to post-pandemic learning in different instructional settings.…”

Increasing student engagement and improving learning outcomes are ongoing issues in higher education worldwide. These issues were particularly pertinent during the COVID-19 pandemic when remote learning was selected as the primary instructional learning setting. This study aims to assess the impact of gamification-based quiz instruction in driving college students’ learning in an online class during the COVID-19 pandemic at a remote institution of higher education in Indonesia ( n = 68). The study employs an explanatory sequential mixed-method approach, including quasi-experimental research, quantitative surveys, and qualitative interviews. The findings indicate that the overall result of the four tests conducted during the intervention indicates a statistically significant difference among the three groups. The gamification-based quizzes increase student enthusiasm and improve learning outcomes. The study demonstrates the transformation induced by the ease of use and low cost of digital gaming platforms from mundane activities, such as listening to lectures on Zoom, to enjoyable educational gaming activities. The weekly gamification-based formative assessments using easy-to-use media significantly increase student engagement, critical and creative thinking, and information literacy during the learning process.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers had to alter their assessment process for an engaging and productive remote learning. The present study investigates the technology-based formative assessments carried out by secondary school English teachers. To reach that goal, the writers conducted a series of observations and an interview. It was found that English teachers used a few technology-based formative assessment platforms such as Quizizz, Kahoot!, Schoology, Microsoft Office Team, and Socrative. Oral and written feedback was also regularly done by English teachers for supporting technology-based formative assessment practices. The finding of this study also implies the crucial role of digital literacy in supporting the successful implementation of technology-based formative assessments during distance learning. Keywords: technology-based formative assessment, English teaching and learning, remote learning
