摘要
The purpose of this study is to investigate students' awareness, behavioural intentions and factors that influence the learning of English through the use of Web 2.0 technologies such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Wiki, LiveMocha and Flickr at a local university. This paper aims to extend existing knowledge on Web 2.0 technologies in language learning. The Technology Acceptance Model was referred to in constructing the questionnaire. The study investigated students' uses of and preference for Web 2.0 technologies. Questionnaires were distributed to final-year undergraduates. The results indicate that gender, ethnicity, age, study programme and usage frequency have no significant relationships with the six dimensions discussed in the TAM model.
