AI Games and Learning Engagement

This research examines how AI games motivate and engage the language learners in novel ways. The paper explores how AI-based games can overcome many of the common challenges that often cause students to lose interest in learning English, such as limited access to hearing the language being spoken, having fewer opportunities to practice speaking the language, and not feeling motivated to participate in class. The discussion is based on current research and the application of various theories (e.g, expectancy-value theory, self-determination theory). This study suggests that factors such as personalized feedback, adaptive learning, and low-risk interactive environments play a significant role in maintaining learners' motivation and engagement. Overall, the findings indicate that AI-based gamification offers valuable opportunities for teachers to enhance EFL instruction by supporting the development of learners' communication and writing skills.
