Incorporated with the positive and negative perceptions of Robbins' theory (2002) and the concept of students' engagement pioneered by J.A Fredericks (2004) and Gibbs (2010), this research concerned with the students' and the teachers' perceptions about the use of online learning platforms based on student engagement in speaking class and if the students can be actively involved in aspects of behavior, cognitive, and emotional during the learning process. Carried out with a descriptive qualitative approach, this research obtained the data from the first- and fourth-year student college students speaking one and speaking 3 in STKIP PGRI Jombang, UNWAHA, and IAIN Kudus. It administered questionnaires and interviews to both students and teachers. The result showed that students' behavioral engagement was eventually high. However, their cognitive and emotional engagement was not significantly positive in some aspects. Hence, it contributes to understanding the various aspects of web-based classes and the EFL student engagement in the virtual speaking class.

Kegiatan pengabdian dilaksanakan di Prodi Bahasa Inggris STKI PGRI Jombang. Program pengabdian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh:(1) minimnya pelaksanaan pelatihan kemampuan public speaking dan berfikir kritis mahasiswa;(2) minimnya waktu untuk penjaringan delegasi dan pengenalan, pelatihan, dan pendampingan debat sehingga menyebabkan kurang memuaskannya kualitas delegasi kompetisi NUDC;(3) lemahnya kemampuan berargumentasi dan berlogika. Berdasarkan hasil observasi dan analisis kebutuhan maka solusinya meliputi: (1) memberi wokshop tentang jenis mosi debat, dan cara penilai debat dengan model parlemen Inggris;(2) pendampingan latihan debat secara intensif dengan beragam motion terbaru.
