This study delves into the determinants influencing South Korean university students studying required college English courses to adopt the use of ChatGPT for their English language learning. A hypothesized technology acceptance model (TAM) utilizing six pertinent variables, including external factors, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, attitudes toward the use of technology, behavioral intention, and actual use, was adopted. A total of 122 college students from one university in South Korea participated in the study, providing data through an online questionnaire. Structural equation modeling was employed for the data analysis. The study tested eight hypotheses based on the study model, all of which demonstrated statistical significance. Notably, all five of the factors exhibited direct positive effects on the actual use of the technology. This research contributes to our understanding of the trajectory toward technology acceptance by exploring the perspectives of students in South Korea. It also discusses the implications these findings have on the future evolution of English as a foreign language (EFL) education at the university level.
