Determinants of Foreign Language Teachers’ Intention to Adopt Online Teaching: An empirical study by the combined model of TAM and TTF
Pages 249 - 253
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore the factors that influence foreign language teachers’ intention to use (IU) the online platform by integrating Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Task Technology Fit (TTF). A sample of 358 foreign language teachers from Chinese universities were selected by distributing a questionnaire and the research hypotheses were tested by multiple regression analysis. The results showed that perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEOU) and TTF all significantly influenced teachers’ IU the online platform. What's more, TTF was an important mediator for teachers’ intention to utilize the virtual platform. In addition, we found the specific region and specialized foreign language also play a role in the teachers’ intention of using the technology. The results of our study helps to facilitate regional higher education development and to informalize foreign language education policies in Chinese universities.
