%X As new informational conditions contribute to the discovery of new ways to improve the quality of the educational process, a new integrated learning model was elaborated. The purpose of the paper is to evaluate the students¡¯ engagement in a newly-introduced integrated learning model, identify the impact of such a model on students¡¯ learning outcomes, and to determine if students¡¯ engagement levels influence their learning outcomes. For our research we used qualitative and quantitative data of students¡¯ records of professional discipline and English testing, surveys and interviews on behavioral engagement, emotional engagement, and cognitive engagement (N = 63). Results on students¡¯ engagement showed that online activity, especially the online international project, involved students more than face-to-face classes, but at the same time some of them noted that without lectures it would be difficult, or even impossible, to participate in a project. Thus the overall engagement level was quite high. Additionally, an integrated approach positively impacted learners¡¯ outcomes. The correlation analysis showed that learners¡¯ engagement played an influential role and highly impacted students¡¯ learning results. In this case we can conclude that our integrated learning model contributes to students¡¯ involvement in the educational process and, as a consequence, allows them to achieve greater results.
