Abstract | With the advent of e-learning, in which instruction is done remotely and on digital platforms, education has experienced a profound upheaval as the sole means of ensuring the continuation of academic activities due to the disruption caused by the COVID-19 outbreak. This crisis appears to have created a perfect environment for creating freely available, publicly licenced course materials known as open educational resources, or OER. Boon Yih Mah initiated the self-assessed online listening tests (SAOLT) as one of the OER to provide English as a second language (ESL) learners with a platform with relevant and supporting content to practise their listening skills in a test format. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to measure the perceptions of senior English teachers from different education sectors about the usefulness, ease of use, attitude toward use, and behavioural intention to use SAOLT in their teaching of listening skills. A survey was conducted using a purposive sampling method comprising ten English educators from different types of institutions with 16–40 years of teaching experience. The items in the questionnaire were adapted based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology or UTAUT to suit the study’s objectives using five Likert scales for measuring the perceptions. Based on the findings after performing the descriptive data analysis, this survey has shown positive responses among the senior English teachers from different education sectors about their perceptions of the usefulness, ease of use, attitude toward use, and behavioural intention to use SAOLT in their teaching, particularly for listening skills |
