Based on this, L2 instruction has integrated new concepts to motivate learners in their pursue of achieving fluency. A concept that is adaptable to digital natives and digital immigrants that are learning a L2 is Gamification . As a pedagogical strategy, Gamification is basically new, but it has been used successfully in the business world. Gamification not only uses game elements and game design techniques in non-game contexts (Werbach & Hunter, 2012), but also empowers and engages the learner with motivational skills towards a learning approach and sustaining a relax atmosphere . This personality factor as Brown (1994) addresses is fundamental in the teaching and learning of L2 . This article covers aspects regarding language, second language learning methodology and approaches, an overview of the integration of technology towards L2 instruction, Gamification as a concept, motivational theory, educational implications for integrating the strategy effectively, and current applications used. It also calls for a necessity of empirical evidence and research in regards to the strategy.  \nKeywords  \nGamification, Second Language Learning, Motivational Theory, Student Engagement  \nJ.

Introduction  \nThe use of Gamification in educational settings toward L2 learning involves pedagogical approaches, methodologies, and strategies . All of these are part of the transition made by language learning instruction throughout generations . Several motivational strategies and approaches used in traditional pedagogy are also part of this transition . Including Behaviorism, Cognitivist approaches, along with social interaction and sociocultural theories .  \nAs the 21st century moves forward, the field of second language learning and instruction has become more technology oriented. This adjustment in the teaching strategies is in accordance with the learners the educators are receiving in their classroom . Plenty of second language (L2) learners are part of a generation that Prensky (2001) describe as “Digital Natives”. These learners process the information different and the educational system does not fit their needs . In addition more learners are aware of the benefits of the Internet and the strength of Connectivism as explained by Seimens (2005), where knowledge resides outside nodes of specialized information . At one point Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) was instrumental connecting with the L2 learner, also the integration of Web 2.0 move the L2 learning process away from the typical classroom setting. Both technology oriented strategies fit their purposes and where successful. But none of these two strategies worked directly with the psychological aspect of motivation . Brown (1994) sees motivation as a necessary personality factor that the learner needs in order to acquire a L2 . Current L2 educators are well aware of the strategies suited for this time and that enhances motivation and engages learners in acquiring L2 . From all the strategies that exist, Gamification isone that constantly promotes motivation . According to Werbach and Hunter (2012), is the use of game elements and game design techniques in non-game contexts In addition it deals with the two clusters of Intrinsic and Extrinsic motivation, which are necessary in the L2 learning experience . It also adapts to motivational work conducted in the field of L2 by Gardner and Lambert (1972), which mentions Instrumental and Integrative motivation, and Graham (1984) distinction of Assimilative motivation .
