dc.description.abstractThis research addresses the issue of low motivation and limited student engagement in learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL), particularly in public educational contexts with restricted time and resources. The study was conducted at Escuela de Educación Básica Tarquino Idrobo in Quito, involving sixth-grade students who showed difficulties in behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement during English classes. The main objective was to determine the impact of integrating gamified digital platforms (Bamboozle) and movement-based tools (GoNoodle) on students’ motivation and academic performance. The study is theoretically grounded in SelfDetermination Theory (Deci & Ryan, 2000), Dörnyei’s motivational framework (2001), and Krashen’s Input Hypothesis (1982), which emphasize the importance of interactive, meaningful, and low-anxiety learning environments. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative techniques (pre-tests, post-tests, and Likert-scale surveys) and qualitative methods (classroom observations and interviews), applied to a sample of 40 students. The results revealed a significant increase in active participation, interest in learning English, and vocabulary retention, confirming the effectiveness of the implemented strategies. As a proposal, a didactic strategy based on the systematic integration of interactive digital tools was designed to enhance student motivation. In conclusion, gamified platforms positively contribute to the creation of dynamic learning environments, promoting meaningful English language acquisition in resource-limited settings.
