Adapted from the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the Integrated Model of Technology Acceptance (IMTA) has been used to examine the perceptions and acceptance of computer-assisted language learning (CALL), such as online learning, mobile learning, and learning management systems. However, whether IMTA can be applied to empirical research on…

This study examines whether and to what extent video, voice and text-based communication in a synchronous online foreign language classroom affect the university students' willingness to communicate (WTC) and what impact anxiety, online disinhibition and online attention control exert on the level of WTC. Applying a cross-sectional design, a…

Information frictions significantly shape students' academic trajectories, but their differential impact across student backgrounds remains understudied. Using a novel panel survey capturing incoming students' subjective expectations and anonymized transcript data from Arizona State University, we first show that parental education strongly…
