However, in its implementation in writing classes, there were many challenges in writing scientific papers. Therefore, this study aims to describe the perceptions and challenges of teachers towards implementing gamification and Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT)in learning to write scientific papers. The research used a mixed method design, namely a combination of quantitative and qualitative, primarily explanatory design.
