Abstract
This research investigated factors influencing Chinese EFL university students’ adoption of mobile technology-integrated vocabulary learning towards student-centered learning using the extended unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT2) model. The theoretical framework incorporated additional constructs of privacy, trust, personal innovativeness and information quality to examine their effects along with original seven UTAUT2 determinants on behavioral intention and use behavior. SPSS-22 and AMOS-24 software were employed to analyze the data. The hypotheses of this study were tested by structural equation modeling and regression path analysis. The results demonstrated the effects of performance expectancy, effort expectancy, facilitating conditions, social influence, hedonic motivation, price value, privacy concerns, habit, personal innovativeness and information quality on behavioral intention. The investigation contributes robust initial evidence regarding the factors shaping EFL students’ adoption decisions and paves the way for further confirmatory research on leveraging mobile apps to transform vocabulary acquisition.
