Abstract: Traditional teaching methods in Mexican classrooms have long provided structure but often limit student engagement and creativity. Recently, gamification has emerged as a promising strategy to enhance motivation, attention, and language skills throughout entire courses rather than isolated activities. This study focuses on improving speaking fluency in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) through gamification in virtual classrooms. However, improper implementation may cause student disengagement, compounded by limited teacher training in Mexico. Therefore, this research aims to develop effective gamification strategies tailored for EFL virtual education in Mexico, considering current educational challenges and the potential of gamification to transform learning experiences.
