The impact of robot-assisted language learning (RALL) on EFL students’ classroom engagement and willingness to attend classes (WTAC): A technology acceptance model (TAM) perspective
Recently, a surge of scholarly attention has been paid to the impacts of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools on second/foreign language (L2) education. Nonetheless, there is a lack of evidence on the role of AI-assisted robots or robot-assisted language learning (RALL) in English as a foreign language (EFL) students’ psycho-emotional factors and academic behaviors. To address this gap, drawing on the technology acceptance model (TAM), the present study probed into the impact of robot-assisted L2 education on Chin…
Chinese EFL students who received robot-assisted language instruction showed significantly higher classroom engagement and willingness to attend classes after a four-month intervention compared to controls.
Findings are bounded to a specific population and duration: 155 Chinese EFL students over a four-month intervention, limiting generalizability beyond that context.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0200 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
