Abstract

Teenagers worldwide have been considered as ‘digital natives’ who are grown up under the influence of modern technologies, including mobile devices; however, their intention to use the devices for language learning is still under research in the literature. This study was conducted in an attempt to explore factors that influenced Vietnamese teenagers’ intention to learn English through mobile devices and how they (the devices) could enhance learners’ language skills. Using the extended technology acceptance model (UTAUT) as the theoretical framework, the study analyzed data from 617 high school and university students in north, central and south Vietnam. The study results revealed that attitude towards use was the most critical factor affecting teenagers’ intention, but facilitating condition and effort expectancy did not correlate with the intention. Learners’ gender and prior online learning experience also had an impact on the intention. Mobile devices were more beneficial to learning, listening, reading, and speaking than writing. The study findings offer practical implications for teachers and designers of mobile applications to foster mobile English language learning for teenagers in Vietnam.
