The deep integration of information technology and subject teaching is an innovative driving force for promoting the high-quality development of education and building an educational power. As a key influencing factor of student engagement, teachers' curriculum leadership plays an important role in improving the effectiveness of flipped classroom. The study, based on the four dimensional (i.e. behavioral, agentic, cognitive, and emotional) conceptualization of student engagement, explores the impact of English teacher curriculum leadership on student engagement in flipped classroom model. The findings of the study are as follows: (1) Under the flipped classroom model, English teachers' curriculum leadership is generally at a moderate level, and their leadership in resource integration and evaluation & reflection needs to be improved. (2) Students in flipped classroom had good overall performance in terms of behavioral, agentic, cognitive, and emotional engagements, but their agentic engagement still needed to be strengthened. (3) There is a significant positive correlation between English teacher curriculum leadership and student engagement. Based on these results, the article puts forward suggestions for promoting students' high-quality engagement from such aspects as special leadership improvement activities, co-constructed digital resources between teachers and students, and multi-channel evaluation and reflection, aiming at effectively exerting teachers' curriculum leadership, and thereby enhancing the effectiveness of flipped classrooms.
