Student Engagement in Second Language Learning

This mixed-method study employed an engagement scale survey and semi-structured interviews to examine student engagement (N=212) focusing on three types of interactions, (1) student-student, (2) student-content, and (3) student-instructor in undergraduate courses. The quantitative results indicated strong engagement between students and instructors; while student-student engagement was rather limited. Given that the interviews revealed a mixed scenario and problems encountered by students, generally, these participants held a positive attitude towards this mode of learning.
