Abstract :
Computer Aid Education has been considered as a powerful tool for teaching and learning second languages. However, the frequency of its use is considerable low than expectation. It is because of boring and monotonous characters of educational applications. To complete all tasks in educational applications, it is asked great efforts and patient due to lacking fun and amusement. Then for the developers of e-learning applications for language learning, how to add amusement elements on applications is a big deal. In this paper, in order to seek a solution for this, we will show a way to add these elements by gamification of an application for practicing building phrase. The reason we choose phrase building application is that it is mostly difficult to attract leaners´ interests in spite of its importance in language learning.
