This study examines the impact of Gimkit, an interactive learning platform, on the acquisition of A2 grammar in adult English as Foreign Language (EFL) learners. The objective of the research is to investigate the potential for the integration of Gimkit into online EFL instruction to improve grammar proficiency. The improvement in grammar skills among participants was assessed using a pre-test and post-test method. The results indicated that there were significant improvements in the application and comprehension of grammar, particularly in the past simple tense. The participants expressed a high level of satisfaction with Gimkit, citing its engaging nature and effectiveness. This research enhances the field of educational technology by illustrating the potential of gamified learning tools to enhance the results of language learning. Comparative studies with other educational methodologies and long-term retention should be prioritized in future research.
