ABSTRACT
The present study intended to examine the relationship between perceived teacher support, students' ICT self-efficacy, and online English academic engagement in the blended learning setting, especially in mobile-assisted foreign language instruction contexts. A sample of 960 Chinese undergraduate and postgraduate students was recruited to participate in the online questionnaire. SPSS version 24.0 was used for descriptive, correlation, independent samples t-test, and mediation analysis of the three variables. The results showed that (1) there is a significant correlation between perceived teacher support, students' ICT self-efficacy, and online English academic engagement;(2) students' ICT self-efficacy partially mediates the relationship between perceived teacher support and student online English academic engagement;(3) students' ICT self-efficacies differed by sex and level of education, but not by major;(4) students' sense of self-competence in ICT self-efficacy has a significant positive influence on engagement with online English learning. The findings reveal that students' ICT self-efficacy positively impacts students' online English learning, and perceived teacher support also affects students' learning engagement. School administrators should encourage teachers to focus on students' online self-efficacy, especially the sense of environmental control. Implications and further directions for future research are presented at the end.
