The lack of student involvement during the learning process is thought to be related to the communication between teachers and students that is not well established. This descriptive-quantitative research aims to prove whether teacher’s interpersonal communication has a significant relationship with students’ learning engagement in English subjects. To answer the research questions, the researcher first determined the Mean Score of each variable and then used it as a basis for determining its relationship. The respondents for this study were 83 students at Airmadidi Adventist Elementary School in grade 5 who took English Subject. The results of the analysis of the data obtained show that the English teacher exhibited the good interpersonal communication (M=4.35) and students practiced active involvement in learning (M=4.22). In addition, by using Pearson Correlation Product Moment, the results showed that there was a significant relationship between teacher’s interpersonal communication and students’ learning involvement in English subjects, with the value of p=0.00<0.05. Based on the results obtained, it is recommended that teacher should be more active in carrying out interpersonal communication with students to trigger student learning involvement during English learning.
