Resumen
(ES) La gamificación es una estrategia de popularidad y uso creciente que aprovecha los avances
tecnológicos para mejorar diversas flaquezas en los métodos docentes actuales. En este trabajo se
recopila información de los estudios que se han realizado sobre este tema y sobre las aplicaciones y
plataformas que pueden contribuir a su implementación en un contexto educativo.
El objetivo de este trabajo es, primeramente, hacer una revisión teórica sobre el uso de la
gamificación en diferentes contextos, mostrando sus ventajas para el aprendizaje en general y para la
adquisición de idiomas, a la vez que se pone en valor su implementación a través de aplicaciones y
plataformas virtuales. A continuación se realiza un estudio basado en la recogida de datos de una
muestra de usuarios habituales de aplicaciones de gamificación para el aprendizaje de segundas
lenguas, intentando extraer algunas conclusiones sobre los posibles beneficios de la gamificación en
este ámbito.

This theoretical review is followed by a research study which analyses the data provided by regular users of gamification apps for language learning purposes, trying to draw some conclusions about the possible effects of gamification in this context.
