Abstract
Our study aims to reveal the ICT use and related perceptions of university students through a self-developed online questionnaire. The research questions focus on (1) ICT attitudes, (2) frequency of ICT tool usage in a broad context and (3) frequency of ICT tool usage in the context of language learning. There seems to be agreement among both language and non-language majors concerning the motivating role and personal significance of ICT. Strong evidence is provided for the significant motivational role of ICT tools, while overall results confirm the substantial role of ICT use in learning, learner engagement and efficacy. Furthermore, ICT tool usage is more prominent among language majors in the areas of language, social and media tools, as well as blogs and vlogs. Generally, online dictionaries and lexicons are evaluated as most frequently used.
