Abstract

Acquiring a rich and diverse vocabulary is fundamental to teaching French as a Foreign Language (FLE) in elementary school, playing a crucial role in developing students’ language skills. With the need for innovative pedagogical approaches, gamification is emerging as a promising strategy, integrating game elements into education to increase engagement and learning. This research focuses on analyzing the impact of using Kahoot!, as a gamification tool, to enrich the vocabulary of 6th-grade FLE students at the Medersat.com school in Taznakht, located in the provincial delegation of Errachidia, compared with conventional methods.

In this context, this research involves a quasi-experimental approach with two groups of students: a test group using Kahoot! and a control group following conventional teaching methods. Standardized tests were used to measure vocabulary before and after the intervention, complemented by classroom observations to assess student engagement and satisfaction.

Preliminary results indicate a significant improvement in vocabulary enrichment in the test group compared to the control group. Moreover, an increase in motivation and engagement was observed in students using Kahoot!.
