Predicting EFL University Students' Acceptance of Mobile Assisted Language Learning through the UTAUT2 Model
This study used the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) model to examine the factors influencing the acceptance of MALL by the Moroccan EFL students of Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University. For this purpose, 150 undergraduate EFL students participated in the research. The survey questionnaire adapted from (UTAUT2) model showed the influence of the following factors on students' behavioral intention to use MALL: performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social impact, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation, and habit. The findings highlighted the importance of perceived usefulness and ease of use, the need for institutional support, engaging learning experiences, and promoting MALL use as a habit. This study provides valuable insights for educators and policymakers seeking to optimize MALL adoption and improve language learning outcomes.
