      <dc:description>The present research aimed to determine the role of online teaching platforms in enhancing&#xd;
learning and teaching as perceived by bachelor students of English specialization. This study also&#xd;
sought to examine the association between students’ engagement and their academic performance&#xd;
during online learning. In doing so, a quantitative approach was used to collect data, and 423 bachelor&#xd;
students from three Palestinian higher education institutions (Al Quds Open University, An Najah&#xd;
National University, and Arab American University) completed a closed-ended questionnaire. The&#xd;
study’s outcomes demonstrated that the students’ attitudes toward the role of online teaching&#xd;
platforms in enhancing their learning can be classified as positive and negative, and these attitudes&#xd;
varied among the respondents due to problems and challenges during online learning and previous&#xd;
experiences, skills, and learning style. Moreover, about 58.6% of students were dissatisfied with&#xd;
their online learning and had negative attitudes toward online teaching platforms. Therefore, more&#xd;
future studies relating to the design of online courses, resources that are available on the platform,&#xd;
and online teaching strategies that are considered fundamental components for fostering students’&#xd;
engagement at higher education institutions should be taken into account. Moreover, further studies&#xd;
involving more universities with samples from different specializations will confirm or contrast the&#xd;
findings of the current study.</dc:description>
