Chinese EFL learners'acceptance of live video-streamed teaching platforms:A study based on the Technology Acceptance Model
Based on the Technology Acceptance Model(TAM),this study explored Chinese English as a Foreign Language(EFL)learners'acceptance of live video-streamed teaching platforms for formal language learning.Data were collected from 800 participants,and the results indicated the following:1)All participants showed a high level of acceptance in the five variables,that is,computer self-efficacy(CSE),perceived ease of use(PEU),perceived usefulness(PU),attitude(ATT),and behavioral intention to use(BI),but with significant individual differences,and there were no gender differences in any of the variables.2)All five variables were significantly correlated.In addition,CSE,PEU,PU,and ATT could predict BI to different degrees.Mediating effect analysis revealed that PEU and PU mediated the relationship between CSE and BI,with the former being an antecedent to the latter.The pathway with the largest indirect effect size is CSE→PU→ATT→BI.The implications for teachers and platform designers are also discussed.
