Abstract

This quasi-experimental study examines the effectiveness of gamified and interactive activities in the teaching and learning of grammar in an English for Specific Purposes course aimed at reading academic texts. The research was carried out in 2020 with the participation of 26 students in the area of Education (undergraduate and graduate) of the Federal University of Pará-Brazil. The course was created following the guidelines coming from studies on the insertion of gamified and interactive activities in teaching and learning and the instructional design. The learning activities were made available in the university Moodle (including the tools H5P and Hot Potatoes) and on the free Duolingo for Schools website/app. Data were collected before (pretest) and at the end of the course (posttest and Duolingo for Schools Spreadsheet). The statistical analyses comparing the means scores showed favorable results regarding the effects of the technologies used for student learning. The study was finalized with the obtaining of positive answers regarding the hypotheses investigated on learning English grammar.
