To investigate the presence and implementation of gamification elements in English textbooks used in Austrian secondary education.
Analyzed the textbooks 'More! 4' and 'Easy 4' for gamification components.
Conducted a systematic examination of tasks within the textbooks.
Proposed adaptations for common tasks using gamification principles.
Some gamification elements like cooperation and narrative contexts are present in textbooks.
These elements are generally not utilized as part of a consciously playful design.
Proposed adaptations aim to enhance engagement through gamified task redesign.
