ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to examine how Korean students accept and use mobile - assisted language learning (MALL) and investigate related factors that potentially affect MALL usage . The participants were 244 undergraduate students who were surveyed with a questionnaire . The research model , which included students ' self - efficacy , content reliability , interactivity , perceived enjoyment , perceived usefulness , perceived ease of use , attitude , and behavioral intention to use MALL , was developed based on the technology acceptance model (TAM) . The structural equation modeling (SEM) technique was employed in order to analyze the overall results of modified TAM and the research model . The results indicated that TAM was a good theoretical tool to understand students ' acceptance of MALL . In addition , all constructs , with the exception of self - efficacy and interactivity , had significant effects on students ' acceptance possibilities of MALL . Limitations and suggestions for the further study are also presented .
