Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been used for language learning in higher education to strengthen teaching practice and meet learning needs. However, studies on the behavior of university students using artificial intelligence for language learning are still insufficient. The study involved 129 university students and investigated factors inherent in their behavior of using AI to learn languages. Exploratory factor analysis was used to validate the questionnaire consisting of five factors: (i) knowledge of AI-enabled language apps, (ii) attitude to use AI, (iii) perceived ease of use, (iv) subjective norm, and (v) behavioral intention. Results of this study indicated that the above factors were associated with students’ behavioral intention for language learning positively.
