Design and evaluation of mobile cuisine guiding system for english learning applications

Abstract

English has become the international dominant language, but English learning in Taiwan still focuses on traditional oral teaching and digital leaning method. Without the guidance of actual life situation, such English learning method has the difficulty in arousing English learning motivation. Gradually, scholars have put forward the idea that situational experience in mobile learning is used to improve English learning motivation. In order to achieve mobile learning, it is necessary to rely on location-aware technology and the development of GPS is the most popular among the numerous location-aware technologies. Therefore, this research implemented a set of system combining food guide and English mobile learning and applied Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to discuss the usage acceptance of this system. Research results show that in regard to the usage of learners’ mobile device, the factor of “anxiety” is the most important to system acceptance and the factor of “perceived usefulness” has the highest correlation with the factor of “system usage acceptance”.
