Technology acceptance and satisfaction refers to the application effect and user experience of technology. Understanding student acceptance and satisfaction with technology can help optimize educational tools and methods, improve the effectiveness of teaching strategies, and enhance learning outcomes. However, relatively little attention has been paid to students’ learning experiences, including technology acceptance and satisfaction. Therefore, the quantitative methodology was used in this research to explore 60 English as a foreign language (EFL) college students’ learning experience through questionnaires. The results showed that students’ technology acceptance was moderate and some students still faced some barriers when using the software. Furthermore, students had a high level of satisfaction when using the platform. They had a positive attitude towards the effectiveness of teachers’ teaching, but they were less satisfied with the function of the software and its role in improving learning interest. Therefore, cultivating students’ digital literacy is still an issue that needs attention in future education. All parties involved in education are advised to take full advantage of educational technology to improve students’ learning experience in the future.
