Abstract

Engagement is an essential aspect of students' success in learning. Even though students' engagement with learning has been widely investigated, the level of learners' online engagement and the relationship between learners' online engagement and their achievement, especially in the English as a foreign language (EFL) context, using a learning management system (i.e. Blackboard), remains unexplored. To fill that gap, this study examines the effects of learner engagement, using its three dimensions (behavioural, emotional, and cognitive), on students' achievement in learning EFL in online courses. In total, 189 college students participated in the study. Data was analysed using the second-generation analysis technique structural equation modelling (SEM) to examine the relationships among constructs and test the hypothesis. Results revealed that students' engagement significantly affected their achievement in learning EFL in an online environment.
