초록

Better understanding of the factors that affect EFL learners’ satisfaction and continued use of e-learning could offer supports for better implementation of such a strategic initiative. This study develops a comprehensive structural equation model that captures most causal factors related to EFL learners’ satisfaction and continued use of e-learning. The proposed model incorporates learner factors (attitude toward using technology, computer self-efficacy, and outcome expectation) as well as environmental factors (content flexibility, content quality, and support) and their impact on EFL e-learners’ satisfaction which in turn leads to continuous use of e-learning. The survey participants comprised public and private secondary school students (Grades 10 to 12) in South Korea. The analysis provides a structural equation model with acceptable statistical fits and with many significant causal relationships. The results demonstrate significant links between satisfaction with e-learning and various factors as well as continuous use of e-learning. The study findings have implications for English educators.

Abstract

Better understanding of the factors that affect EFL learners’ satisfaction and continued use of e-learning could offer supports for better implementation of such a strategic initiative.

The analysis provides a structural equation model with acceptable statistical fits and with many significant causal relationships. The results demonstrate significant links between satisfaction with e-learning and various factors as well as continuous use of e-learning. The study findings have implications for English educators.
