| Summary: | Students in non-native English-speaking countries like China showed low engagement in English learning. To foster student engagement, educators have adopted different teaching strategies like Blended learning to improve the effectiveness of English classrooms. The station rotation model in the blended classroom has the potential to enhance students’ engagement. However, there is still a need to make learning more exciting to retain engagement, especially when the classes are conducted entirely online in a pandemic. The study aims to identify the effectiveness of the Station Rotation and a Gamification approach to improve students’ engagement in online learning English. Two research questions are involved in the study. 1) What features of the Station Rotation and a Gamification approach can be integrated into LMS to improve students’ engagement in English vocabulary learning? 2) What effect do the station rotation and gamification approach have on students’ engagement in English learning, including cognitive, emotional, and behavioural engagement? The methodology chosen is qualitative research with data triangulation using observation, self-report and interview. The findings revealed significant effects on improving students’ learning engagement in three dimensions, enhancing students’ interests, boosting motivation, and fostering engagement. The findings offered several implications and recommendations for further research and contributed to the literature by sharing practical ways to incorporate the Station Rotation and a Gamification approach. |
