Abstract This study discusses the acceptance of the use of e-learning and games in learning Arabic during the COVID-19 pandemic. Arabic learning experienced considerable challenges in learning before the pandemic and now with the pandemic, this process has even greater challenges which ultimately require an Arabic language learning method that adapts to the generation, situation and condition of the people who are experiencing the COVID-19 pandemic so that learning can still be carried out with good and fun outcomes. This research through its five hypotheses which are built based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) theory, shows that with the use of e-learning and games, a positive perception of convenience which then supports usefulness and ultimately affects the attitudes and behaviour of users in learning Arabic can be proven by the acceptance of the five the hypothesis. The consistent use of e-learning and games in learning, especially Arabic learning and the implementation of e-learning and games to support the curriculum are expected to improve student learning experiences for the better and also increase the actual use of both methods.   Abstrak Penelitian ini membahas tentang penerimaan penggunaan e-learning dan gim dalam pembelajaran Bahasa Arab selama Pandemi COVID-19. Pembelajaran Bahasa Arab mengalami tantangan yang cukup besar dalam pembelajaran sebelum pandemi dan sekarang dengan adanya pandemi, proses ini memiliki tantangan yang lebih besar yang akhirnya membutuhkan sebuah metode pembelajaran bahasa Arab yang menyesuaikan dengan situasi generasi, situasi dan kondisi masyarakat yang sedang mengalami pandemi COVID-19 agar pembelajaran tetap dapat dilaksanakan dengan hasil keluaran yang baik dan menyenangkan. Penelitian ini melalui kelima hipotesisnya yang dibangun berdasarkan teori Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), menunjukkan bahwa dengan penggunaan e-learning dan gim, persepsi positif tentang kemudahan yang kemudian menunjang kebermanfaatan dan akhirnya mempengaruhi sikap dan perilaku pengguna dalam pembelajaran bahasa Arab dapat dibuktikan dengan penerimaan kelima hipotesis tersebut. Penggunaan e-learning dan gim secara konsisten dalam pembelajaran khususnya pembelajaran Bahasa Arab dan implementasi e-learning dan gim untuk mendukung kurikulum diharapkan dapat meningkatkan pengalaman belajar siswa menjadi lebih baik dan juga meningkatkan penggunaan keduanya secara aktual.

<p>This research investigated the implementation of Flipped Approach in EFL classroom with the implementation of the E-learning platform. The participants were 42 sophomore English majors of Advanced Paragraph Writing class at Jember University. A within-subjects research design exposed all participants to have Writing Class by flipped learning and to use the E-learning platform. A one-shot survey design was used in this research by distributing two questionnaires “Perception of Flipped Learning Experience” and “Technology Acceptance Model” and doing the in-class observations as “Flipped Note” to collect the data. Data were analyzed quantitatively through SPSS 16.0 by applying the formula of Descriptive Statistics. The results of this research revealed that the implementation of the flipped approach in the classroom: (1) motivated the students in learning the materials, (2) enhanced the students’ knowledge, (3) and engaged them more in the learning tasks. They explained that the flipped approach gave them a new experience in language learning processes, in which they learned the materials before coming to the classroom so that they could criticize the materials. This way of learning aligns with the idea of student-centred learning. It is notable, however, that the students who did not learn the materials yet, could not criticize the materials and could not reach better outcomes in flipped classroom Moreover, the use of E-learning in the flipped classroom gave the students beneficial outcomes in the learning processes. Students revealed on the Technology Acceptance Model questionnaire that E-learning facilitates them properly, and they wanted to look forward to having E-learning in the future learning processes. Despite this finding, there remain limitation on the “server down” issue which needs to be straightened for more accessible E-learning among users.</p>

This study examines the factors of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) that influence the acceptance of ICT use for English language learning of EFL University Students. This study also addresses the possible obstacles that affect and limit the use of ICT by adding motivation and ICT skills as extended TAM variables. This area of research topic is unexplored in the Indonesian context, especially in higher education institution. An analysis of these factors can assist instructors to understand how students learn using ICT and in providing useful advice to them during the learning process. The quantitative method was applied in this study, which included 303 students' teachers of English Education at a state university in Jambi, Indonesia. The instrument used in collecting the data was an online questionnaire. Data collected were analyzed by using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS3 program to analyze the proposed hypotheses formed in order to meet the study objectives. The SEM result indicated that the factors of the technology acceptance model are the main factors affecting the ICT use. The study concluded that the influence of motivation and skills for ICT usage was mediated by three main TAM variables, namely perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and attitudes.

This chapter provides a foundation as to why second language teaching and learning as a discipline should be refocused with caution in the world of technology, what sort of theoretical and practical implications should be in place for second language teachers to employ in unbounded learning environments, what the roles of technology acceptance model (TAM) in shaping unbounded language learning environments for second language teachers and learners are, in what ways it can be possible to provide an ecological perspective on learning to utilize web-based technologies for second language learners, which is basically different from traditional learning models. More specifically, this chapter takes an informed look at the significance of teachers' technology acceptance in constructing unbounded learning environments to teach a second language.

Notwithstanding the fact that extensive studies have highlighted the positive impact of flipped learning on developing learners’ skills, the literature has still been silent on its effect on Indonesian English learners’ communicative competence. To address this issue, this experimental study sheds some light on the significant impact of flipped learning method on developing English learners’ communicative competence. A total of 40 English learners of a university in Indonesia were grouped into flipped and non-flipped classrooms. Through the flipped learning, the course materials were delivered by means of Google classroom platform prior to the class, and the classroom activities were mostly allocated for communicative practices. To obtain the data, this study employed a Discourse Completion Task (DCT) and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) questionnaire. Drawing on paired sample t-test and descriptive statistics, the results depicted that there was a significant difference between the learners’ pre-test and post-test scores of DCTs in the flipped group, and it significantly outperformed the non-flipped group. The results of TAM questionnaire further indicated that most of the learners appreciated the learning activities conducted in the flipped learning environment, and positively perceived Google classroom as an online platform for language learning. As the conclusion, it is a worth saying that flipped learning by means of Google classroom is an effective method to develop English learners’ pragmatic competence.

The extended constructs of technology acceptance model (TAM) have rarely been linked to psychological influence factors. This study complements for the missing link in literature through structural equation modeling and a nonparametric Mann–Whitney U test based on the data obtained from a large-scale questionnaire survey. It is concluded that (a) conformity behavior can be integrated into the TAM to establish a fit model in WeChat use in language learning at the significance level .05, (b) self-esteem can be integrated into the TAM to establish a fit model in WeChat use in language learning at the significance level .05, and (c) there are no significant gender differences in the extended constructs in the TAM in WeChat use in language learning at the significance level .05. Future research may extend the constructs further in psychology in order to complement for missing links in current literature. It is also promising to establish a sociocultural TAM with respect to mobile device acceptance in both western and eastern contexts.

In this comparative study, we investigated different influential factors of mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) for improving productive and receptive language learning skills. To do this, 100 scientific research papers were selected from the top and high-quality journals based on the implications of MALL in higher education language learning. Eight papers were selected according to the specific criteria to categorize the results based on language skills interpretation and technological concepts. Therefore, after thoroughly understanding proposed methodologies and comparing them properly, underlying assumptions about this phenomenon are elaborated, and holistic and sustainable solutions are provided to address this idea. The results of this analysis indicated that Mobile devices are being utilized extensively in developing countries, with vocabulary being the primary language learning area assisted by technology and yielding satisfactory results. According to the findings of this comparative study, LINE and WhatsApp would be of interest among university students to improve receptively (listening and reading) and productivity (writing and speaking), respectively. Moreover, the technology acceptance model (TAM) would be a prominent option for teachers to adapt their current and future educational programs instead of only in-person teaching to improve students’ learning quality.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyze the various antecedent beliefs predicting customers’ attitudes toward, and adoption of, self-service technologies (SSTs) available in the banking industry. Design/methodology/approach – A descriptive research design with survey approach is used to develop and test a conceptual model of adoption for all three self-service banking technologies (SSBTs). Findings – The results of the comparative analysis showed that antecedent beliefs affecting adopters’ attitude vary across different SSBTs. It extends and tests the technology acceptance model (TAM) by including two additional antecedents from the theories of adoption behavior. Research limitations/implications – All three SSBTs included in the paper are from the banking industry, which limits the generalizability of the findings to other industries. Many other limitations were also reported. Practical implications – The findings reveal why and how customers decide to adopt different SSBTs and why a few SSBTs are more widely accepted than others. The practicality of the findings guides managers and designers of technological interfaces. Social implications – People will also benefit from the effective implementation of SSTs. Originality/value – This study stands out as one of the early studies to empirically examine the antecedents-attitude-intention relationship across different SSBTs available in Indian banking industry.
