Undergraduates’ Behavioural Intention to use Learning Management System (LMS) to learn English: An Extended Technology Acceptance Model

Using the Extended Technology Acceptance Model (ETAM), this research studies the Behavioural Intention (BI) among undergraduate students in acquiring the English language through the Learning Management System (LMS). ETAM is an extension of the original Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to include t...
