Abstract

Despite the rapid growth of integrating language learning applications into educational settings, limited studies have reported students' continuance intention to use mobile English learning applications in the mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) context. This study extended the expectation confirmation model (ECM) with mobile self-efficacy and perceived enjoyment. Data were collected from 251 university students through an online questionnaire and analysed using SPSS and AMOS. The findings revealed that: (1) satisfaction, perceived usefulness, and mobile self-efficacy significantly affected students' continuance intention, with satisfaction acting as the key influencing factor; (2) mobile self-efficacy had a positive influence on perceived enjoyment; (3) perceived enjoyment did not significantly influence perceived usefulness and failed to predict students' continuance intention. The findings of this study provide practical insights for educators and application developers to improve teaching effectiveness and user experience in educational settings.

决定移动英语学习应用程序持续意向的因素：期望确认模型在移动辅助语言学习情境中的应用与扩展

尽管将语言学习应用程序整合到教育环境中迅速增长，但有限的研究报道了学生在移动辅助语言学习（MALL）环境中使用移动英语学习应用程序的持续意愿。本研究扩展了移动自我效能感与感知享受的期望确认模型（ECM）。通过在线问卷收集了251名大学生的数据，并使用SPSS和AMOS进行分析。研究发现：(1)满意度、感知有用性和流动自我效能感显著影响学生的留任意向，其中满意度是关键影响因素；(2)移动自我效能感对感知享受有正向影响；(3)感知享受对感知有用性无显著影响，不能预测学生的继续意向。本研究的结果为教育工作者和应用程序开发人员提供了实用的见解，以提高教育环境中的教学效率和用户体验。
