| Abstract | This study investigated the impact of Kahoot, a game-based learning platform, on student engagement in English language education at Warmadewa University. The analysis showed that Kahoot significantly improved students' motivation, participation and overall quality of learning by providing instant feedback and fostering a competitive yet fun learning environment. According to Self-Determination Theory, this environment effectively fulfills students' psychological needs for competence, autonomy and relatedness, thus enhancing intrinsic motivation. In addition, Kahoot embodies the principles of the edutainment model by turning learning into an experiential and engaging journey. Comparative analysis with traditional teaching methods highlights Kahoot's superiority in promoting higher levels of engagement and motivation. This study suggests a hybrid educational approach that integrates the interactive features of Kahoot with the educational depth of traditional methods. Specific integration strategies include differentiated learning sessions and adaptive feedback mechanisms to cater to diverse student needs and preferences. Recommendations for implementing these strategies are directly informed by the research findings, addressing existing gaps in language education and increasing the relevance and impact of the research. |
