ABSTRACT KEYWORDS
This study focuses on preservice Chinese-as-a-second/for- Chinese language;
eign-language (L2 Chinese) teachers with a theoretical per- educational technology;
spective based on prior technology acceptance research in structural equation
modeling; teacher
the educational context, to investigate factors influencing education; technology
preservice L2 Chinese teachers’ intention to use educational acceptance
technology in their future classrooms. Six relevant con-
structs—intention to use technology, perceived usefulness,
attitudes toward use of technology, technology self-efficacy,
facilitating conditions and experience of technology use—
were incorporated into three hypothesized models. A total
of 331 preservice L2 Chinese teachers from two national
key universities in China participated in this study. Data
were collected via a self-report questionnaire and analyzed
through structural equation modeling. Model comparison
results showed that the third hypothesized model fit the
data best. Specifically, perceived usefulness, technology
self-efficacy, and facilitating conditions had direct positive
effects on attitudes toward use of technology, while per-
ceived usefulness, attitudes toward use of technology, and
experience of technology use showed a positive influence
on intention to use technology. This study enriches our
understanding of technology acceptance by extending con-
sideration to under-studied preservice L2 Chinese teachers
in China. Implications for schools and teacher educators are
also discussed.
1. Introduction
With the growing influence of information and communication technol-
ogies (ICT), increasing academic attention has been amassed to under-
stand the potential influence of technology on education (Becker et al.,
2018; Luo & Yang, 2018; Zinn, 2003). Prior research has shown that
technology-assisted teaching not only improves learners’ engagement in

class (Fonseca, Martı, Redondo, Navarro, & Sanchez, 2014; Rashid &
Asghar, 2016; Swan, 2003), but also enhances learning outcomes (Aubusson,
Burke, Schuck, Kearney, & Frischknecht, 2014; Clark & Mayer, 2016;
Crompton, Burke, & Gregory, 2017). In addition, with the advancement
and greater affordability of technology, diverse educational technologies
have been developed to provide students with more learning opportunities
(Lai, Zhu, & Gong, 2015). Nevertheless, research has shown that teachers,
particularly preservice teachers, still do not utilize technology effectively and
fully in their teaching practice (Lim & Khine, 2006; Mueller, Wood,
Willoughby, Ross, & Specht, 2008). Such a fact could be due to a lack of
engaging opportunities, professional training, and encouraging support for
the establishment of the actual change in teachers’ intention to use technol-
ogy. As Hao and Lee (2017) pointed out, change in instruction may create
apprehension in teachers given that the consequences of change are unpre-
dictable. Considering that the success and effectiveness of implementing
educational technology is largely subject to teachers’ positive perceptions
and beliefs (Ertmer, 2005; Nikou & Economides, 2019; Teo & Noyes, 2010;
Teo & Zhou, 2017), it is of great importance to understand what factors
drive or hinder teachers’ acceptance of educational technology (Marangunic
& Granic, 2015). As a result, targeted measures can be taken to enhance
teachers’ willingness to adopt educational technology in their teaching prac-
tice (Baydas & Goktas, 2017).
To this end, there has been a rise in research examining English as a
second/foreign language (L2 English) teachers’ acceptance and use
of educational technologies in different educational and cultural con-
texts (Granic & Marangunic, 2019; Mei, 2019), such as in China (e.g.,
Huang, Teo, & Zhou, 2019; Mei, Brown, & Teo, 2018), in Korea (e.g.,
Jeong & Kim, 2017), and in Turkey (Mathews-Aydinli & Elaziz, 2010).
Although such research suggests that L2 English teachers’ attitudes
toward technology use are positive, limited attention has been paid to
L2 Chinese teachers’ adoption of technology, aside from a few studies
focusing on the discussion of the impact and implication of ICT on L2
Chinese teaching (e.g., Xu & Shi, 2013; Zheng, 2013). In addition,
cross-cultural comparison studies have revealed that individuals’ use of
technology could be subject to their cultural differences (Li & Kirkup,
2007). It is, therefore, necessary to carry out more contextualized
research to help teachers of particular backgrounds use technology at
an optimal level, especially since there is already the consensus that
educational technology could benefit L2 learning and teaching (Teo,
Huang, & Hoi, 2018).
Meanwhile, according to the report released by Confucius Institute
Headquarters (2019), in 2018 alone, more than 10,000 preservice L2

2. Literature review
2.1. Technology acceptance research
Teo (2011) defines technology acceptance as “a user’s willingness to
employ technology for the tasks it is designed to support” (p. 1).
Originating from the theory of reasoned action (TRA; Fishbein & Ajzen,
1975), research on technology acceptance started to gain increasing
attention from academia since the 1980s (Davis, 1989). The basic tenet
for technology acceptance research is that users’ beliefs influence their
intention to use technology, which, in turn, influences their adoption of
technology in reality (Taylor & Todd, 1995; Venkatesh, Morris, Davis, &
Davis, 2003). Extending on this, two other models, the theory of planned
behavior (TPB; Ajzen, 1991) and the technology acceptance model
(TAM; Davis, 1989), have also been frequently employed to gauge users’
perceptions of, and their belief in, technology in order to predict the
expected technology uptake (Liaw & Huang, 2003).
The TPB was first proposed by Ajzen (1991) with an aim to enhance
the explanatory power of the TRA under circumstances when behaviors
are compulsory. The TPB, as an extension of the TRA, argued that in
addition to attitudes toward behavior and subjective norms (i.e., the per-
ceived pressure to engage in a behavior), perceived behavior control could
determine individuals’ behavioral intention. To date, the TPB has been
applied in various contexts including business (e.g., Carr & Sequeira, 2007;
Koropp, Kellermanns, Grichnik, & Stanley, 2014), education (e.g., Cheung
& To, 2017; MacFarlane & Woolfson, 2013), and health (e.g., Albarracın,
Johnson, Fishbein, & Muellerleile, 2001; McConnon et al., 2012).
Regardless of different research contexts, TPB-based studies have consist-
ently shown that attitudes toward use of technology, subjective norms, and

technology acceptance and use (Jeong & Kim, 2017; Teo et al., 2014).
Although Abdullah and Ward (2016) suggested that prior experience
was one of the primary reasons for the attitudinal and behavioral
change of educational technology through its influence on perceived
ease of use or technology self-efficacy, Yueh, Huang, and Chang
(2015) argued that actual use experience directly influenced continued
intention to use technology. Such an argument echoes previous
research that providing preservice teachers with technology-rich expe-
riences can have a positive influence on their intentions to use tech-
nology in the classroom (Coutinho, 2008; Lei, 2009). In addition,
the lack of positive technology-related experience was found to be one
of the main barriers to teachers’ technology adoption (Ertmer,
Ottenbreit-Leftwich, Sadik, Sendurur, & Sendurur, 2012). Given the
above reasons, experience of technology use was proposed as a factor
directly contributing to preservice L2 Chinese teachers’ intention to
use technology rather than their attitudes toward use of technology in
this study.
Drawing on these adjustments, three competing models were proposed
in order to find the optimum one for explaining preservice L2 Chinese
teachers’ intention to use educational technology (see Appendix 1 for
details). Model 1 hypothesizes that perceived usefulness, attitudes toward
use of technology, technology self-efficacy, facilitating conditions, and
experience of technology use have direct positive effects on intention to
use technology. Model 2 hypothesizes that 1) experience of technology
use has direct positive effects on both perceived usefulness and technol-
ogy self-efficacy; 2) perceived usefulness and technology self-efficacy, and
facilitating conditions have direct positive effects on attitudes toward use
of technology; and 3) perceived usefulness, attitudes toward use of tech-
nology, and technology self-efficacy, along with facilitating conditions
have direct positive effects on intention to use technology. Model 3
hypothesizes that 1) perceived usefulness, technology self-efficacy, and
experience of technology use have direct positive effects on attitudes
toward use of technology and 2) attitudes toward use of technology, per-
ceived usefulness, technology self-efficacy, facilitating conditions, and
experience of technology use have direct positive effects on intention to
use technology. The difference between Model 2 and Model 3 lies in that
experience of technology use in Model 2 serves as an external factor
indirectly influencing intention to use technology through the interplay
of perceived usefulness, technology self-efficacy, and attitudes toward use
of technology, while experience of technology use in Model 3 has been
proposed as an external factor directly contributing to intention to
use technology.

3. Methodology
3.1. Context and participants
According to the Ministry of Education (MOE) of China, 97.8% of pri-
mary schools and 99.0% of secondary schools had access to the internet
in 2018 (MOE (Ministry of Education), 2019). The computer and student
ratio increased from 10.5% to 11.1% in primary schools and 14.8% to
15.2% in secondary schools from 2017 to 2018 (MOE (Ministry of
Education), 2019). Similar changes have also been witnessed in university
settings. For example, Lu and Hong (2013) review of ICT in L2 Chinese
teaching suggested that there was a drastic change in terms of the inte-
gration of ICT into L2 Chinese teaching over the last two decades. This
study took place in such a context where there is a growing trend of
ICT-integrated teaching in mainland China.
A total of 331 preservice teachers from two national key universities
in China participated in the study: one in Beijing and the other in
Guangzhou. All participants were postgraduate students pursuing
their Master of Teaching Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages
(MTCSOL). Both universities are well-known for their MTCSOL pro-
grams. Participation in the study was completely voluntary. All partici-
pants were briefed about the purpose of the study and informed of their
rights not to participate and withdraw from completing the question-
naire at any time with their anonymity guaranteed. The average age of
the sample was 23.66 with an age span from 20 to 42 (SD ¼ 2.57).
Among the participants, 46 were males and 285 were females with 286
native Chinese speakers and 45 non-native Chinese speakers.
3.2. Instrument
A questionnaire containing two parts was administered to the partici-
pants. Given that the majority of the preservice L2 Chinese teachers
were Chinese and some were non-native Chinese with Hanyǔ Shuǐpıng
Kaoshı level 6 (HSK 6 is the highest level for L2 Chinese proficiency),
the questionnaire was presented in Chinese (see Appendix 2 for items).
Part one of the questionnaire collected participants’ demographic infor-
mation, including age, gender, nationality, and length of L2 Chinese
teaching. Part two collected participants’ self-reported perceptions of per-
ceived usefulness (four items; adapted from Davis, 1989), attitudes
toward use of technology (three items; adapted from Edison & Geissler,
2003), technology self-efficacy (three items; with reference to Compeau
& Higgins, 1995; Hocevar, Flanagin, & Metzger, 2014), facilitating condi-
tions (three items; adapted from Lai, 2015; Teo, 2009), experience of
COMPUTER ASSISTED LANGUAGE LEARNING 9
technology use (three items; adapted from Jeong & Kim, 2017;
Lai, Wang, & Lei, 2012), and intention to use technology (three items;
adapted from Armenteros, Liaw, Fernandez, Dıaz, & Sanchez, 2013;
Davis, 1989) through a 7-point Likert scale ranging from strongly agree
to strongly disagree. The adaptation of the questionnaire included exclud-
ing items of subjective norms, replacing items of perceived ease of use
with those of technology self-efficacy, adding items of experience of tech-
nology use to make the questionnaire more contextualized for preservice
L2 Chinese teachers (see Section 2.2 for more details).
Given that the questionnaire items were adapted from various previous
studies, exploratory factor analysis was then performed to discover and
check the latent constructs through the factor loadings, the reliability, and
the variances explained of the variables. The results of the exploratory fac-
tor analysis revealed that the Cronbach’s a for each latent construct was
satisfactory and all the items fell within their corresponding constructs.
4. Results
4.1. Measurement model test results
A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was first conducted with AMOS 24
using maximum likelihood estimation for cross-validating the adapted
questionnaire in the study. The CFA results showed a good fit of the
data with the measurement model (v2/df ¼ 2.59; p < .001; CFI ¼ .95;
TLI ¼ .94; RMSEA ¼ .07; and SRMR ¼ .06). In addition, composite reli-
ability and AVE for each latent variable both met the recommended cut-
off points of .50. Detailed CFA results of the measurement model can be
found in Table 2.
to Model 2 at p < .01 level (x2diff =dfdiff ¼ 13.71), but not significantly
better than Model 1. Nevertheless, given Model 3’s acceptable fit indices
and higher degrees of freedom, Model 3 was finally retained rather than
Model 1 in this study (see Figure 1). In Model 3, perceived usefulness
(b ¼ .47), technology self-efficacy (b ¼ .43), and facilitating conditions
(b ¼ .13) had direct positive effects on attitudes toward use of
