Abstract: This study investigates the efficacy of incorporating gamification methodologies to facilitate English language acquisition within the academic setting of engineering colleges in Tamil Nadu. The emphasis lies in addressing the language barriers faced by students pursuing technical education by integrating engaging and interactive game-based approaches into the pedagogical framework. By employing various gamified strategies, such as language-oriented puzzles, simulations, and interactive digital platforms, this research aims to enhance language proficiency, communication skills, and overall engagement among engineering students. The study employs both qualitative and quantitative methodologies to assess the impact of gamification on English language learning outcomes. Additionally, the research analyzes the perceptions of students and educators regarding the effectiveness and acceptance of these innovative techniques. The findings are expected to provide valuable insights into the integration of gamification as a supplementary tool for improving English language proficiency in technical educational institutions.
