Abstract

The article presents a study of the application of interactive learning materials as a means of increasing engagement of foreign students in the educational process. The relevance of the topic is due to the growing need for innovative approaches that can overcome the limitations of traditional teaching methods and ensure more active student participation in the educational process. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of interactive learning materials in increasing student engagement and to identify key factors for their successful implementation. The methodology includes a quasi-experimental design with pre-post testing on a sample of 240 foreign students. Data were collected through engagement questionnaires, observations, and focus groups, and analyzed using descriptive and inductive statistics. The results showed a statistically significant increase in behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement in the experimental group. Qualitative analysis revealed the role of interactivity, personalization, multimodality, and game elements in stimulating engagement. The results contribute to understanding the mechanisms of engagement of foreign students and provide practical guidelines for creating interactive learning environments. Further research may be directed at studying long-term effects and adapting the approach for different learning contexts.
