【摘要】 随着无线网络应用的扩大以及移动设备拥有量的增长,利用智能手机、平板电脑、便携式多媒体播放器等移动设备学习外语的人越来越多。移动辅助外语学习这种外语学习方式应运而生。它在为学生提供获取学习内容的方便媒介的同时,还扩展了外语学习的时空范围,弥补了传统外语课堂在真实语境接触上的不足,对培养和提升学生的英语听说读写综合技能具有深远意义。然而,学界至今对学生关于这一新兴的语言学习方式的接受程度仍缺乏了解。尽管目前国内外的移动辅助外语学习研究取得了一定的进展,但大部分的研究都是从高校学生的角度出发,很少有研究关注到初中生这一群体。对于初中生是否接受这种外语学习方式的研究更是少之又少。因而,本研究以初中生这一阶段的学习者为研究对象,分析研究了初中生对移动辅助外语学习的使用情况和接受度,并试图回答以下两个问题:1.当前,初中生对移动辅助外语学习持什么态度?2.影响初中生接受移动辅助外语学习这一外语学习方式的因素有哪些?为了回答以上问题,本文在系统梳理了国内外有关移动辅助外语学习相关研究的基础上,借鉴技术接受模型,确定了学习资源、主观规范、自我学习管理、自我效能感、感知娱乐性五个外部变量和感知有用性、感知易用性、使用态度、行为意向四个内部变量,构建了初中生对移动辅助外语学习接受度的影响因素模型,并提出了相应的假设。然后,作者以驻马店第四中学的学生为研究对象,设计了初中生对移动辅助外语学习感知的调查问卷,对样本问卷的信度效度进行分析和修改之后,得到最终问卷并对研究对象进行了调查。最后,采用结构方程模型对问卷数据进行分析,并且在测量模型中对该数据进行了模型可靠性测试和模型整体适配度测试。依照相关的参数标准,作者得出该研究所构建的模型完整且接受度高,能够找出显著影响初中生对移动辅助外语学习的接受度的关键因素。研究结果表明,初中生对移动辅助外语学习这种外语学习方式接受度较高。其中,学习资源正向影响初中生感知移动辅助外语学习的有用性和易用性;自我效能感正向影响初中生感知使用移动辅助外语学习的易用性;主观规范正向影响初中生感知移动辅助外语学习的有用性,以及对移动辅助外语学习的使用态度和行为意向;感知易用性正向影响初中生感知使用移动辅助外语学习的有用性和使用态度;感知有用性正向影响初中生对移动辅助外语学习的使用态度;初中生对移动辅助外语学习的使用态度正向影响初中生对移动辅助外语学习的行为意向。最后,基于该研究所得出的结论,笔者提出了影响初中生接受移动辅助外语学习的相关建议,期望教育学者和专家通过采取积极有效的行动进而鼓励和引导广初中生群体采用移动辅助外语学习。

【Abstract】 With the rapid expansion of wireless networks and mobile devices’ exponential growth,more and more people are learning foreign languages with mobile devices such as smart phones,tablets and portable multimedia players.Mobile-Assisted Language Learning(MALL)arises in response to the proper time and conditions.This new English learning method not only provides students with a convenient medium to access learning contents,but also extends the spatial and temporal scope of foreign language learning,which is of significant influence on cultivating and improving students English listening,speaking,reading and writing ability.However,it is still unclear whether students can accept this new language learning way.Currently,the research on MALL at home and abroad has made significant progress;as far as the current research is concerned,most of the extant research focuses on college students,and few focuses on junior high school students.Therefore,less is known about the current use of MALL among junior high school students in China and whether they accept this foreign language learning method.This study analyses the use and acceptance of MALL among junior high school students,and attempts to answer the following two questions:(1)What attitudes do junior high school students have towards MALL?(2)What are the factors affecting junior high school students’ acceptance of MALL?Based on a systematic review of the relevant researches on MALL at home and abroad,this thesis adopted the technology acceptance model(TAM)as the basis.Five additional variables including study resources(SR),subjective norm(SN),self-learning management(SM),self-efficacy(SE)and perceived entertainment(PE),and four internal variables,namely perceived usefulness(PU),perceived ease of use(PEU),perceived enjoyment(PE),attitude towards the use(AT)and behavioural intention(BI)were included in the proposed model.The model was then tested via structural equation modelling(SEM)with data collected by the questionnaire survey from Zhumadian No.4 Middle School.A two-step SEM analysis procedure was followed.Specifically,the statistical software,including SPSS 25.0 and AMOS26.0,was used to test the measurement and structural model.Test results of confirmatory factor analysis suggest that the measurement model is of high reliability and validity.Structural test results show that junior high school students have high acceptance of MALL.Study resources have a positive effect on junior high school students’ perceived usefulness and ease of use of MALL;self-efficacy has a positive effect on junior high school students’ perceived ease of use of MALL;subjective norm has a positive effect on junior high school students’ perceived usefulness,attitudes and behavioural intentions to use MALL.Further students’ perceived ease of use has a positive effect on perceived usefulness and attitude towards the use of MALL;perceived usefulness has a positive effect on attitude towards the use of MALL,and attitude towards the use of MALL has a positive effect on behavioural intention.Finally,based on this study’s conclusions,the author puts forward some suggestions to improve junior high school students’ acceptance of MALL and hopes that educators and experts can take positive and practical actions to encourage and guide junior high school students to adopt MALL.
