The technology acceptance model (TAM) can be used to study the success of Online Distance Learning (ODL) as a teaching and learning approach. ODL became the only tool available due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which disrupted the learning process in Malaysia and the world over. ODL took the place of traditional classrooms and created new chances for students and teachers to interact and communicate. This study investigates students' acceptance of ODL as an acceptable learning approach among undergraduates in Malaysia. This research makes three contributions. First, this research may aid in determining whether learners or users prefer ODL. Second, this research will aid in identifying the characteristics that significantly influence the intention to use ODL. Third, this research also provides insights into whether variables like perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness impact ODL acceptance as a learning tool. The findings reveal that ODL was not a popular choice of learning approach among students. Although students had a positive perception of ODL, the student's attitude and intention to use ODL for future learning were lacking.
Vocabulary acquisition is vital in learning a language. To express ideas and communicate clearly, sufficient amount of vocabulary is required for language learners. Learning vocabulary maybe challenging to second language learners, so language instructors come up with many mays to make language learning interesting. One of the ways to learn English vocabulary is through games. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether second language learners could acquire new vocabulary through "You've Been Framed" game. This study designs a vocabulary based game for language learners. Then it uses a set of questionnaires to evaluate the effectives of the game. The results of the study would include whether players can understand the rules of playing the game and enjoy playing it. Besides that, the effectiveness of the game in learning new vocabularies through implicit learning was also investigated. This study contributes to the language learning literature particularly in implicit language learning through games.
