Abstract
[spa] En este documento se presenta una propuesta de secuencia didáctica fundamentada en la gamificación, con el objetivo de promover la motivación y el compromiso de los estudiantes en una clase de inglés como lengua extranjera para el cuarto año de educación secundaria. Las sesiones se enmarcarán en un contexto ficticio, asignando roles específicos a los alumnos. Se propondrá una amplia variedad de actividades que fomenten la participación activa de los estudiantes, estimulen su creatividad y les brinden nuevas estructuras y expresiones lingüísticas, al tiempo que promuevan la reflexión sobre las mismas. Los alumnos deberán hacer uso de su imaginación y creatividad, así como trabajar en colaboración para resolver diversos problemas a lo largo de todas las sesiones. Asimismo, se incorporará una tarea final en la que los estudiantes, organizados en grupos, deberán crear un nuevo juego y evaluar su desempeño mutuamente.
