With the development of educational informatization and the change of learners'learning needs,mobile learning has gradually become a hot topic of academic research and has entered a stage of rapid development.The successful implementation of mobile learning can not be separated from the assistance of mobile learning APP.At present,mobile learning APP in China has formed a huge market scale,covering many teaching fields,and the market is very popular.However,according to the report of China Education equipment Purchasing Network,most mobile learning APP can not effectively help learners to learn.There is still a long way to go in the process of integrating into teaching process.Therefore,we need to study it in depth.By comparing current research situation of mobile learning APP,we can find that most of the domestic researches focus on the use value,the function of the existing software,and the development trend,and most of the researches are based on the underlying design.There is a lack of relevant research from the perspective of users'perception.The value of mobile learning APP depends on the effective application of the learners.The problems of why learners use a certain mobile learning app,how to use mobile learning APP and how to promote learners use mobile learning APP to assist their learning should be the problem we need pay attention to.Under the background,it is meaningful to pay attention to the acceptance and use of mobile learning APP.This study focuses on the influencing factors of users' mobile learning APP usage intention.The subjects of this study are mainly normal university students and foreign language educational app.First,extracted users' comments of APP which ranks the top foreign language category within one month from the ASO100 website,and then summarized and classified.Draw lessons from the relevant research results of information system use intention at domestic and overseas,combined with user comments to generate user willingness to use the factors model and questionnaire;finally,After the above analysis,it is concluded that the influencing factors of college students' APP usage intention include performance expectation,effort expectation,social influence,etc.Influence,use input,perceived interest,perceived risk,service concern and task-technology matching degree.Then a questionnaire was issued to investigate the influencing factors of college students' APP willingness to use.The main factors affecting the willingness to use are obtained.Then,the structural equation model is used to reconstruct the influence factor model,and the relationship between the factors and the influence path coefficient is analyzed.The final conclusions of this study are as follows:the factors that directly affect college students' willingness to use educational APP in foreign language education are performance expectation,perceived risk,use input and social influence,among which the biggest influence coefficient is using input(0.33),perceived risk had the least effect on willingness to use(0.19),while performance expectation and social impact on willingness to use were 0.22 and 0.27.In addition,perceived interest affected the task technology fit.Perceived task/technology fit indirectly affects willingness to use by influencing performance expectations;perceived risk and service concern are also linked.Finally,this paper makes an in-depth analysis of the above findings,and puts forward some suggestions for the development and promotion of foreign language APP resources.
