Pedagogical Conditions for the Use of Game Applications in English Lessons

Abstract

Students at the beginning of learning English have a great desire to study it, but due to a number of different reasons, this subject loses its attractiveness for them, lagging students consider it one of the most difficult, and, therefore, unloved. The choice and nature of the use of a particular method, means, or method of teaching depends on whether the educational activity in English lessons for children will be joyful and interesting or burdensome.The use of games in teaching English is an appropriate and effective technique, helps to create a game situation that reflects reality, develop a strategy for mastering new knowledge, offer motivation when learning English - a necessity that does not deny traditional approaches, but serves as an excellent complement to them. The introduction of gamification in teaching foreign languages changes the way the educational process is organized, this can help overcome the fear of mistakes.If we talk about the implementation of gamification in distance learning, which is especially important in the context of a pandemic, it should be noted that in this form of training there is a weak emotional component that connects the teacher and students, as well as students with each other. Therefore, it is necessary to use various additional gamification elements that enhance engagement by involving the emotions of students.
