Abstract
This qualitative study employs the activity theory framework to investigate learners’ perceptions of engagement in a technology-based language learning environment. The participants were English language learners from a private language learning institute in Tehran that, during the covid-19 pandemic, worked with students in different cities in Iran through online classes. The primary data were gathered through observation of classes held on the Adobe Connect platform and a semi-structured interview with 20 learners, which were categorized using a typology study design to understand different aspects of engagement and the influencing factors on them, to justify the data and identify possible contradictions within the activity theory framework. Findings revealed that learners’ perception of engagement and language learning is related to interaction patterns, technology acceptance, and the quality of communication in the classes. Moreover, contradictions were found in the main elements of interaction patterns and how they are integrated with learners’ engagement and language learning.
