초록
Despite more advanced technologies, there is a lack of practical research examining learner behaviors toward technologies particularly in ELT. The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors that influence EFL learners’ actual participation in blended learning, using its environmental attributes (accessibility, perceived usefulness, interactivity, and variety) and a learner attribute (behavioral intention). This study proposed a research model with hypotheses based on Davis’ (1989) Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Data were collected from 126 Korean college students at a beginning level and analyzed using the Structural Equation Model (SEM). Results indicate that all of the variables except accessibility influence learners’ intention to use blended learning. Also, the intention has a positive effect on their participation in learning. This implies that these key factors should be considered to encourage EFL learners to participate in blended learning.
