Acceptance toward AI use among KPTM Bangi students in an ESL classroom
Abstract
This research investigated the factors that influence students' acceptance towards the use of AI technology in an ESL classroom, using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model as its framework. The study was conducted with a sample of students from Kolej Poly-Tech MARA (KPTM), Bangi campus, who have been exposed to AI technology daily. The research specifically examined the impact of five constructs on students' acceptance of AI technology, as informed by the UTAUT model, which includes use experience, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions. The data was collected through a Google Form questionnaire and analysed using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. The findings of this study are expected to provide insights into how educators can effectively implement AI technology in ESL classrooms and improve students' ESL learning outcomes.
