Abstract
Few research reports can claim that students have accepted MALL (Mobile-assisted language learning). Exploring the key influencing factors of students ‘mobile language learning will promote the ultimate effect of students’ language learning. However, there are little researches on MALL of students, especially vocational students. This study aims to explore the factors that influence the acceptance and use of MALL of Chinese vocational college students. UTAUT (Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology) was used to propose a behavioral model for the acceptance of MALL by vocational students. The questionnaire data were analyzed through SPSS25 and SmartPLS3, and the factors affecting the acceptance of MALL by vocational students were evaluated. The results show that ATT (Attitude towards behavior) and SI (Social influence) were the key influencing factors of BI (Behavior intention) and FC (Facilitating conditions) were the key influencing factors of BI and ATT. Recommendation: The relevant stakeholders of mobile language learning in higher vocational colleges should promote the convenience of MALL, influence higher vocational students, and improve the learning effect of MALL through community influence.
