We focus on three dimensions of gamification: immersion, achievement, and social. Using a cross-sectional survey design, covariance-based statistics, and structural equation modeling, we collected data from users of a language learning app. Our findings reveal that achievement-related gamification features, such as badges, points, levels, and tasks, evoke inspiration and foster the inspiration to learn. However, neither immersion-related nor social-related gamification features serve as a source of inspiration. This research contributes to the understanding of how gamification can be leveraged to enhance inspiration and possibly learning outcomes in eLearning environments.Text/Workshop Paper10.18420/muc2023-mci-ws08-378
