A survey on college students’ attitudes toward English e-tutoring websites
Abstract:
Using the TAM Model to investigate college students' attitudes toward English e-tutoring websites has rarely been conducted from an information technology and global e-digital market perspective. The present study re-examined the utilization of self-paced e-learning websites for business English based on the assessments of university students. The findings were as follows: 1. Most users of English e-tutoring services believe that the use of such services in learning English provides greater value and convenience than non-online alternatives. This belief can assist the web designers of such websites in the maintenance and enhancement of users’ loyalty to the sites if the web designers take care to ensure the quality of the sites’ e-content. 2. Site designers should also endeavor to ensure that students’ requirements regarding functions relating to knowledge management and website interactions are met such that the students can operate the sites with greater ease as they engage in the learning process. 3. To provide a better understanding of the interface design quality.
