Abstract

This study presents an eLearning course that synergizes gamification with game-based learning methodologies to enhance the educational experience within the framework of the European Project Gamified Values Education for Fostering Migrant Integration at Schools (GAMIGRATION). This paper explores the innovative application of gamified learning within the context of English language instruction, specifically designed to inculcate European values among students. The primary goal is to foster inclusion and improve the integration of immigrant students in European schools. Each level consists of modules emphasizing values such as cultural diversity, respect, tolerance, and solidarity, leveraging game-based learning resources to enhance interactivity and engagement. This work presents the pedagogical design by implementing the gamified course, illustrating its potential as an effective tool for integrating European values into language learning.
