Keywords:
online learning, student engagement, blended learning, language learning, interactive toolsAbstract
In recent years, the use of online learning platforms has grown significantly, driven by advancements in technology and the increasing demand for flexible, accessible educational options. This study examines the effectiveness of online learning platforms in enhancing student engagement and academic performance in language learning in the case study of 13 students majoring in English philology at Fergana State University. The central hypothesis is that the integration of interactive digital tools and multimedia resources into the curriculum can foster a more immersive and engaging learning experience. The findings reveal that the majority of students using online platforms report higher engagement due to the availability of interactive activities, such as games and quizzes. Altogether, the findings of this research may provide significant directions for technology integration into education, opening the path to the creation of new teaching methods, which may be effective in reaching the generation of students of the modern world.
