The article provides a scholarly review of the preparation of future primary school teachers for the use of gamification technologies in Russian language lessons. The relevance of the study is determined by the need to increase the motivation of younger schoolchildren, strengthen practice-oriented speech activity, and update the methodological training of bachelor’s students in the field of “Primary Education.” The paper examines the didactic foundations of gamification within the framework of competence-based and communicative-activity approaches, describing typical game mechanics (points, badges, levels), principles of pedagogical design, and methods for assessing learning outcomes. The pedagogical conditions for university training are substantiated, including the integration of gamification into the methodology of teaching Russian, microteaching practices, digital portfolios (e-portfolio), and learning analytics. The study also offers recommendations for the methodologically sound implementation of gamification without replacing academic content with mere entertainment while maintaining academic rigor.
