Abstract—This study examines the potential factors
influencing Chinese university students’ continuance intention
to use Liulishuo app to learn English speaking skills in a
non-mandatory environment. This study empirically integrated
post-acceptance model, Technology Acceptance Model (TAM),
and introduced new variable perceived enjoyment. Structural
Equation Modelling (SEM) was applied to estimate the
proposed research framework based on the survey data
collected from 350 Chinese university students who had
experience of using the app during pandemic. The structural
model confirms perceived usefulness and perceived enjoyment
significantly influence students’ intentions to continue using
Liulishuo app to learn English speaking skills. This study also
provides valuable theoretical contributions in developing and
testing related theories and practical implications to
incorporating technology in higher education in China, and the
instruction orientation for higher education teachers.
Keywords—continuance intention, Liulishuo app, mandatory
