Abstract

This article examines the theoretical foundations of applying the gamification approach in teaching English to children aged 5–6. It highlights the psychological and pedagogical characteristics of young learners, defines the main principles of gamification, and analyzes its forms and methods in educational practice. The study concludes that game-based technologies significantly enhance motivation, communication skills, and interest in learning a foreign language at the early stages of education.
