Abstract This meta-analysis examines the effectiveness of technology-assisted second language (L2) vocabulary learning as well identifies factors that may play a role in their effectiveness. We found 34 studies with 2,511 participants yielding 49 separate effect sizes. Following procedure developed by Hunter and Schmidt (2004), we corrected for sample size bias measurement error. The overall us...

This research examines whether the hedonic 1 or utilitarian nature of a system serves as a boundary condition for understanding an individual’s interaction with information technology (IT). To do so, we reviewed the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) literature to identify studies incorporating intrinsic motivators (i.e. indicators of hedonic responses to IT). We then employed meta-analytic tech...
