Abstract

Learning management systems (LMSs) have been widely used in Chinese higher education institutions. This study investigated student learning engagement of English as a foreign language (EFL) on an LMS among 109 Chinese undergraduates and the relationship between online learning behavioral engagement and learning outcome. The results showed that most students devoted themselves to epidemic-induced online EFL learning and achieved desirable learning performance. But they have encountered a few challenges. Regression analysis showed that student engagement data on the LMS can predict their learning outcomes. Student participation in interactive activities can predict 18.6% of the variance in students’ final test scores. T-test analysis of variances revealed that female students showed higher online learning engagement and performance than their male counterparts. Moreover, the correlation between online behavioral engagement and the learning outcome is stronger in female students than that in male students. Educational implications, limitations, and directions for future research are discussed.
