This paper presents two questionnaire studies that were carried out to capture an understanding of English learners, the contexts around them, and their information technology (IT) usage practices, with a special focus on Korean university students preparing for the Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC). We examined their attitudes towards TOEIC in a study in which 232 participants answered 16 questions. In a second study on 51 university students, we also explored the patterns of IT usage in relation to studying for the TOEIC. The results of these two studies hopefully shed light on the design of realistic and usable English learning systems.
