Problematizing Question:
How does gamification affect motivation and achievements in English learning of students in Ibagué, Tolima?
Gamification, by implementing playful activities and game dynamics in educational contexts, has been shown to be an effective strategy for increasing motivation and improving academic performance in various areas. This research will explore the way in which these strategies influence students of English as a foreign language in Ibagué, Tolima, a context with specific socioeconomic and cultural characteristics that can affect learning outcomes and determine how these strategies can be adapted to improve language teaching.
This research will use motivation questionnaires, academic performance tests before and after the implementation of gamification strategies, such as educational games, interactive platforms, and classroom observation.
Gamification is anticipated to have a positive effect on student motivation, manifested in increased interest and participation in English classes, and an improvement in academic outcomes is expected, reflected in increased proficiency in the language.

The research is based on Self-Determination Theory, which suggests that motivation increases when basic psychological needs such as autonomy, competence, and social relatedness are met. In addition, Vygotsky's sociocultural theory is considered, which highlights the influence of the social and cultural context on learning, which is particularly relevant in analyzing the impact of gamification in Ibagué.

Using a mixed approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data, information will be collected from students from various schools in Ibagué. Questionnaires, standardized tests, observations, interviews, and focus groups will be used to assess changes in motivation and academic performance before and after implementing gamification.

Gamification is expected to increase students' motivation and participation in English classes, as well as their academic performance. The study also seeks to identify contextual factors that could influence the effectiveness of gamification, thus providing recommendations to optimize these strategies in Ibagué and similar contexts.

How do engaging games, music, and videos influence the learning environment, behavior, and performance of 5- to 12-year-old children in a didactic Sunday school class at a Christian church?

The research question I have proposed focuses on improving classroom dynamics and participation by promoting collaboration among students and personalizing learning to meet the individual needs of each student. These two elements are considered fundamental to creating a more effective and enriching educational environment. The goal is to explore strategies that encourage collaboration among students, analyze how students can learn to actively participate and support each other to improve communication with both the teacher and their peers, and solve activities together while maintaining appropriate behavior in class. Through the use of videos and interactive classes, the goal is to improve student behavior and make teaching more effective. It is also essential to evaluate the impact of group activities on student engagement and participation, as well as analyze how collaboration can improve understanding and retention of concepts. There is also a need to investigate methods to identify individual learning styles and adapt teaching to the specific needs of each student, evaluating the impact of these personalized strategies on academic performance and student satisfaction.

Title: Inclusive Education in ELT as a Didactic strategy; to Improve Coexistence and integration in Children in the 6th Grade of the Juan Bautista la Salle Educational Institution

In this research, the Juan Bautista la Salle Educational Institution identified a problem during pedagogical practices; in the 6th-grade children, a bad coexistence when integrating; and when the children do not modulate their behavior, they talk a lot during class, they get up from their tables, thus generating disorder, especially identifying several children who are mostly imperative, they talk and do not pay attention to the activities. For this reason, elements of ELT tasks and inclusive education must be implemented in these children.

As for problems and cognitive needs, English is an area with less influence, they have to be repeated many times. For this reason, it is desired to implement inclusive education in ELT which integrates all the didactic opportunities and learning tasks for children in inclusion, focusing the activities to improve the needs presented. Inclusive education has gained a lot of strength and more support is needed in this area since all schools should adapt, thus providing more opportunities and improving educational needs.

What inclusive strategies can be implemented in ELT to support students with diverse learning needs?

Task-based learning methodology, known as ELT, is an innovative pedagogical strategy that makes learning meaningful and materialistic with authentic activities to improve linguistic communication skills. Therefore, in real-time and prior knowledge, as an advantage of the ELT approach, valuing each experience and critically solving problems and situations. It contributes to practice and theory with pedagogical strategies that collaborate in authentic meaningfulness, enhancing comprehensiveness and creativity. This must respond to the need for inclusive education during its integration and approach. (Cyberstream, 2024).

How does inclusive ELT impact the academic success of students with disabilities?

The obstacles to ELT may be the curricular approach which is based on meeting the needs of inclusive education, which may be an environment that adapts to the diversity and complex needs, such as technological support, to people with disabilities or special needs, adapting inclusion policies, and access to those tools, while also being flexible. Working on these needs is complex, but education and technology must be prepared for the obstacles.

Why is Inclusion in ELT important?

I believe that inclusive education has gained a lot of strength and more support is needed in this area since all schools should adapt, thus providing more opportunities and improving educational needs

Taking advantage of ELT integration, which will improve through tasks designed with an inclusion approach in the previous case. In addition, as a teacher, being able to design under ELT would have great advantages due to its technology, its pedagogical didactic integration, taking advantage of time, and using tools that support us in these didactics. The teacher must innovate and learn to improve the needs detected in the area
