Abstract : The key to effective language learning is to improve students’ learning engagement. This paper explored the impact of students’ achievement goal orientation on online English learning engagement in an online teaching environment through a questionnaire survey of 282 college students. The results showed that college students’ online English learning engagement was generally at an above-average level, but their behavioral engagement needed to be improved; achievement goal orientation had a significant impact on online English learning engagement. Among them, mastery-approach goals and performance-approach goals could directly and positively predict college students’ online English learning engagement, while mastery-avoidance goals and performance-avoidance goals could directly and negatively predict college students’ online English learning engagement. By analyzing the relationship between achievement goal orientation and online English learning engagement, it could not only broaden the theoretical research results on online learning engagement, but also provide a reference for improving the effectiveness of online teaching.
