The other significant determining factor of success in education is motivation which is in line with classroom engagement.

The current review makes an effort to consider the role of EL on students' classroom engagement and motivation by inspecting its backgrounds and values. Subsequently, the efficacy of findings for academic experts in educational contexts is discussed.
