Abstract: In order to address the limitations of traditional analysis methods, including low coverage of influencing factors, low Cronbach's alpha reliability, and long screening time, a method for analysing the influencing factors of college students' mobile learning willingness in the context of English curriculum reform is proposed. Using the TPB model as a framework, the influencing factors of college students' mobile learning willingness are screened from five perspectives: behavioural attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioural control, behavioural intention, and actual behaviour. A multi-level linear model is used to comprehensively analyse the complex interaction relationships between these influencing factors, and the results indicates a significant positive correlation between these influencing factors and college students' mobile learning willingness. The experimental results show that this method achieves as an influencing factor coverage rate of 92.3%-94.6%, a Cronbach's alpha reliability between 0.987 and 0.996, and a screening time always below 0.5 s.

Keywords: English curriculum reform; mobile learning; TPB model; learning willingness; interaction relationships; analysis of the influencing factors.
