Diante da crescente importância da proficiência em inglês para o sucesso académico e inserção no mercado de trabalho, esta pesquisa investiga o impacto dos jogos educativos na motivação, no desempenho e no desenvolvimento das competências linguísticas dos alunos de Cabo Verde que durante o aluno letivo de 2023/2024 estudaram 11.º e 12.º anos de escolaridade. Para dar resposta aos objetivos da investigação a metodologia levada à cabo baseou-se num estudo de caso onde foi realizada uma revisão sistemática da literatura através de uma análise documental e foi aplicado um questionário semiaberto aos docentes de inglês dos 11.º e 12.º anos de diversas ilhas de Cabo Verde. Os resultados apontaram que a gamificação e a aprendizagem baseada em jogos podem aumentar significativamente a motivação, o envolvimento e o desenvolvimento de competências linguísticas dos alunos, proporcionando um ambiente de aprendizagem mais interativo e dinâmico. No entanto, identificam-se alguns desafios enfrentados pelos docentes na implementação dos jogos educativos, como a falta de recursos tecnológicos adequados, a pressão para cumprir rigorosamente o currículo e a necessidade de formação específica. Foi então concluído que para maximizar os benefícios desta estratégia é fundamental que as escolas em Cabo Verde estejam equipadas com os recursos necessários e o corpo docente passe por formações contínuas na área das tecnologias educativas.
Given the growing importance of English proficiency for academic success and integration into the labor market, this research investigates the impact of educational games on the motivation, performance and development of the language skills of Cape Verdean students studying in the 11th and 12th grades during the 2023/2024 school year. In order to meet the research objectives, the methodology was based on a case study in which a systematic literature review was carried out through a documentary analysis and a semi-open questionnaire was administered to 11th and 12th grade English teachers from various islands in Cape Verde. The results showed that gamification and game-based learning can significantly increase students’ motivation, engagement and development of language skills, providing a more interactive and dynamic learning environment. However, some challenges faced by teachers when implementing educational games were identified, such as the lack of adequate technological resources, the pressure to strictly comply with the curriculum and the need for specific training. It was therefore concluded that in order to maximize the benefits of this strategy, it is essential that schools in Cape Verde are equipped with the necessary resources and that teaching staff undergo continuous training in the area of educational technologies.
