| Summary: | Insufficient student engagement in EFL classes is one of the serious and major challenges not only for novice teachers but also for experienced ones. It could cause disruptive behaviours and eventually decrease the learning opportunity on the part of students.
This study attempts to discover the extent of the students’ engagement dimensions and levels. Additionally, it seeks to discover the prevalent factors that cause the students’ disengagement and those that promote and maintain the students’ engagement level. The current study is restricted to 129 students of the English Department at College of Basic Education, Salahaddin University-Erbil in the academic year 2021-2022. A questionnaire and interview were employed to collect quantitative and qualitative data consecutively.
The study results demonstrated that students practise engagement dimensions unevenly. In addition, the study showed that students practise engagement levels at different rates. Furthermore, it revealed the most common factors causing the students’ disengagement and those promoting and maintaining their engagement. Finally, some recommendations are put forward.
