The study uses technology acceptance model (TAM) to gain insights into user reactions to the technology adopted for language learning. The study aims to analyze the correlation between the variables of TAM on using Zoom application in language learning, in addition to examining how gender and experience influence the use of technology. The participants of this study comprise of 75 undergraduate English-as-Foreign-Language learners who have studied for their courses online during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of the study reveal a strong positive correlation between the actual use of Zoom and the students' attitudes and behavioral intention. In addition, there is a positive correlation between computer self-efficacy and other variables (i.e. PU, actual use, PEU, attitude and behavioral intention). Further, while the results reveal that there is no correlation between the gender and any variables of the model, it has been found that experience is positively correlated with the variables of TAM.
本研究采用技术接受模型（TAM）来深入了解用户对语言学习中采用的技术的反应。该研究旨在分析 TAM 变量与在语言学习中使用 Zoom 应用程序之间的相关性，以及研究性别和经验如何影响技术的使用。本研究的参与者包括 75 名在 COVID-19 大流行期间在线学习课程的英语作为外语的本科学习者。研究结果表明，Zoom 的实际使用与学生的态度和行为意向之间存在强烈的正相关关系。此外，计算机自我效能感与其他变量（即 PU、实际使用、PEU、态度和行为意向）之间存在正相关关系。进一步，虽然研究结果表明性别与模型的任何变量之间没有相关性，但已经发现经验与 TAM 的变量呈正相关关系。
