Innovative approaches to adaptive vocabulary teaching in Russian as a foreign language: the role of artificial intelligence and gamification

this paper focuses on investigating the influence of integrating innovative technologies, such as artificial intelligence and gamification, on the adaptive learning of vocabulary in Russian as a foreign language. Within the framework of this study, a comprehensive analysis was conducted on the role of gamification elements aimed at enhancing student motivation. Gamification, as an approach that allows students to engage with educational material in an entertaining and playful manner, significantly improves their involvement, activates interest, and facilitates more effective learning of new content. Additionally, the paper also examines the impact of adaptive systems based on artificial intelligence on the personalization of the educational process. These systems are capable of taking into account the individual needs and learning pace of each student, which allows for more precise selection of exercises, tasks, and materials corresponding to their knowledge levels and interests. As a result of the conducted analysis, it was established that the use of game mechanics not only contributes to a deeper engagement of students in the learning process but also significantly enhances vocabulary acquisition while fostering a positive attitude towards learning. Students who participate in gamified activities demonstrate a greater interest in language study, which positively affects their academic performance and overall motivation to master Russian as a foreign language. Thus, the findings of the study underscore the importance of integrating modern teaching technologies to create a more effective and engaging educational environment.
