摘要：In this era of digital technology, time and place no longer limit access to information, communication, and learning. Following the trend and popularity of CALL (Computer-assisted Language Learning), MALL (Mobile-assisted Language Learning) is gaining increasing attention and application. Many teachers as well as language learners turn to these mobile devices for various language learning purposes due to easy access to resources, convenience, and less language anxiety. Despite the comprehensive functions and sophisticated devices, a high percentage of learners still lag behind and even give up the apps after some time of use. Some research shows that the unsuccessful learners’ lack of motivation constitutes a major hinderance in their self-regulated learning. This study tries to analyze an important component in learners’ motivation, that is self-efficacy (especially computer self-efficacy), and seek for good solutions to the current problems.
