Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have received a great deal of attention in the field of language learning and teaching. Student engagement, retention and success are major issues in MOOC research in general and language MOOCs (LMOOCs) in particular. This paper presents preliminary analyses of student engagement in an LMOOC entitled
Speak English Professionally: In Person, On-line & On the phone designed by the Georgia Institute of Technology. The course, with over 200,000 students enrolled, is offered on the Coursera platform. Learners’ engagement with course elements in relation to their performance in the course was analyzed with a view to improve course design and activities.
