This paper presents the experiences of gamification in a French Writing Skills course as part of an undergraduate program that includes learning French as a second language. It explores teaching experiences and the student perspective by triangulating class observations and a questionnaire on the essential aspects of the gamification strategy. The results reveal that gamification in the classroom favors group interactions, increases student participation, and helps meet the didactic needs of the subject matter.
