Popis: Student learning styles and gamification benefit academic performance. This case study aimed to identify the language learning experiences of students with different learning styles in a gamified learning class. Nine participants between 19 and 32 years old were interviewed in an English II semi-school course at the Faculty of Administration of a higher education institution in central Mexico. The results indicated a high preference for the visual and dependent styles, positive perceptions towards gamification, a change of attitude towards learning English, and improvement in vocabulary, listening comprehension, and pronunciation. It is concluded that gamification and students' learning styles increase their inclination to learn English.
