Abstract

Game-based learning methods or gamification is an important direction in the study of foreign languages. The article considers the reasons for the emergence of such approach as a response to the peculiarities of behavioral patterns in modern society, its advantages for both, teachers and students, as well as ways to implement the game-learning method in existing Chinese language programs. The article also gives examples of various promising game mechanics that can be integrated into the learning process. These examples include the use of ready-made free solutions, basic tools of social interaction, as well as the creation of own mechanics using available Internet resources. From the materials of foreign textbooks the most relevant ways of learning in a game form were selected. Options are offered to combine several tools in an integrated approach for greater involvement of students in the learning process, stimulating independent language learning, creating a competitive environment within the group of students learning the language. The ways to encourage students are also considered to implement a closed cyclic system of gamification. The purpose of this article is to find new ways to improve the efficiency of learning Chinese.
