Language Learning in Higher Education, v14 n1 p57-74 2024
This study investigates the relationship between attitudinal and non-attitudinal variables that impact digital technology use by EFL students in Vietnam. An adapted questionnaire was administered to 1,005 students from different tertiary courses. The results showed that students have a positive attitude to the use of technology and sometimes apply digital tools in their language learning. Although there is a low correlation between learners' technology attitude and their usage of applications, other variables like age, English proficiency levels, digital competence, and the major being pursued can predict the usage of technology among students.
