Abstract
ABSTRACT : This study investigated the effectiveness of using a gamification program to develop first year secondary stage students’ EFL productive skills (Speaking & Writing) and increase their motivation towards learning these skills. Participants of the study were two groups of first year secondary students (one experimental and one control). Instruments of the study were an EFL Speaking test, an EFL writing test, and two motivation scales towards learning speaking and writing. The experimental group was taught based on the gamification program and the control group received regular instruction. Both tests and scales were post - administered to both groups after the program has been applied. Results showed that experimental group outperformed the control one. This indicated that the program was effective in developing EFL speaking skills, EFL writing skills and enhancing motivation of the participants. Therefore, it is concluded that using gamification is effective in developing EFL speaking skills, EFL writing skills for secondary stage students and increasing their motivation towards learning these skills.
