This scientific article analyzes the effectiveness of using educational applications based on game techniques to facilitate the process of language learning for students. The study focuses on assessing the impact of interactive and game-based elements on language learning outcomes. The article offers a comprehensive analysis of a number of case studies and aims to identify the extent to which game-based methods are effective in the context of improving language skills. This allows us to better understand the potential of using game approaches in educational practice to improve the quality of language learning.
