This study proposes the conceptual model that can explain the mechanism in which a technology self-efficacy affects students' satisfaction with online English learning. The set of hypotheses drawn from the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the literature are tested to examine the role of technology self-efficacy in students' satisfaction. Survey data collected from the students taking online English courses were analyzed using the factor analysis and structural equation modeling techniques. The test results for the proposed hypotheses supported the mechanism in which a technology-specific self-efficacy influenced the students' satisfaction level with online learning. In particular, the TAM factor provided the mediating channel through which a technological competence affected educational outcome by interacting with a student's technology adoption process. This study argues that teachers should take technology proficiency in electronic English classes as an essential part of teaching practices.
