    The present study aimed to propose gamification strategies through the incorporation of video games to strengthen second language acquisition in students from cycles 3 and 4 at a private school. A qualitative methodology with an ethnographic approach was employed, using instruments such as surveys, observations, and interviews to analyze the impact of video games on English learning. The results showed that participants perceived the use of video games in the classroom positively, highlighting an increase in motivation, vocabulary acquisition, and improvement in pronunciation. However, challenges were identified, such as the appropriate selection of video game genres and the management of classroom time. In conclusion, it was demonstrated that video games, when strategically applied, support language learning through immersive and motivating environments, representing a valid alternative to traditional methodologies.
