Abstract

This mixed-method research was conducted to examine the perceptions of self-learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) toward mobile learning (m-learning) apps. It integrated several constructs from the technology acceptance model (TAM) and constructivist learning theory (CLT) to provide a detailed picture of the learners' perceptions. The study also examined variations in learner perceptions based on their gender and age. A total of 292 participants took part in this research, and data were triangulated from quantitative and qualitative instruments. The findings revealed positive perceptions among the learners toward English m-learning apps as well as a strong and positive relationship between the learners' TAM-based and CLT-based perceptions. Although gender did not significantly affect the learners' perceptions, age did exert some influence on both behavioral intention and actual use of the apps. The study concludes with several pedagogical implications and recommendations for future research.

英语自学者对移动语言学习的看法
这项混合方法研究旨在调查英语作为外语(EFL)自学者对移动学习(m-learning)应用程序的看法。它整合了技术接受模型(TAM)和建构主义学习理论(CLT)的几个概念,提供了学习者感知的详细图景。该研究还调查了基于性别和年龄的学习者感知的差异。共有292名参与者参与了这项研究,数据通过定量和定性工具进行了三角测量。研究结果揭示了学习者对英语移动学习应用程序的积极看法,以及学习者基于tam和基于clt的看法之间存在强烈的积极关系。虽然性别对学习者的认知没有显著影响,但年龄确实对行为意图和实际使用应用程序有一定影响。该研究总结了一些教学意义和对未来研究的建议。
