Technology-based learning addresses the challenge of limited learning time for active students. Digital-based gamification for language learning in schools is a recent development, streamlining the teaching and learning process and enhancing outcomes. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of digital-based gamification models on the engagement and language literacy skills of eighth-grade students at Madrasah Tsanawiyah in Pariaman City.

Results indicate differences in student engagement between gamification and conventional models and between high and low-engagement groups. Interaction effects between gamification and engagement levels on language and literacy ability were observed. Overall, the gamification model proved more effective than conventional methods in enhancing engagement and learning outcomes. It is recommended that the Principal of the Madrasah implement digital-based gamification models tailored to students' needs to enhance engagement and learning outcomes

The findings indicated a spectrum of perspectives, from viewing AI as a beneficial tool for creative engagement to concerns over its potential to limit creative thinking and traditional pedagogical approaches.
