Abstract

Mobile learning (m-learning) is increasingly used as a learning method for university students, especially for language learning. Indeed, smartphones and tablets allow easy and quick access to a multitude of mobile language learning applications that offer innovative and interactive features. M-learning for language learning is an educational approach that aims to use mobile technologies to facilitate the acquisition of language skills. Language learning mobile apps can offer a wide variety of interactive activities, games, videos, and exercises that can help students learn more engagingly and interactively. Through this study we will try to show the effects of gamification on the motivation of students in m-learning, this study could explore how the use of gamification can increase the motivation of university students to learn a foreign language through mobile apps, and how it can improve their engagement and persistence in learning. In this context we have developed a mobile application for learning French as a foreign language, based on the strategy of gamification, dedicated to university scientific students in Morocco, to improve the linguistic skills of students in specific professional contexts.
