ABSTRACT COVID-19 pandemic has led to many changes in our lives, especially in education since it has been carried to virtual environments. As it is named, online education has disclosed many concerns in the education field such as the quality of such education and the engagement levels of the students during this new-developed procedure. Furthermore, student engagement in online education has become a problem since it is related to every behavior of the students committed in the way of education. The aim of the study is to measure the engagement levels of the ELL students during online education. For this purpose, the study adopts a quantitative approach with an online questionnaire measuring student engagement on the basis of four engagement types: skills, emotional, participation/interaction, and performance, which addresses also motivation and satisfaction as well as several variables related to student engagement such as study habits and participation. In compliance with the convenience sampling technique, 186 students studying at the department of English Language and Literature at two state universities participated in the study. SPSS was used to analyze the data statistically. The data analysis has revealed that the students are engaged moderately in online education in terms of the four engagement types. Additionally, the results of the descriptive analysis of the variables have shown that student engagement has a positive relationship with motivation and satisfaction. The study suggests that students can keep their engagement level at an average point if necessary investments are made by both students and instructors.
