Abstract

The current quantitative study investigated the correlation between internet obsession and English language promotion by analyzing the variables separately. The research is based on recent data from June 2023 to August 2023, collected through cluster sampling from 1500 high school students in China, with a mean age of 15.98 years. The large-scale program interaction (Model 6) of SPSS has been utilized in the study to assess the intervening role of forthcoming synchronization and intellectual squared and found that internet obsession significantly negatively predicted English learning promotion. The results revealed that the internet obsession has a strong correlation with forthcoming synchronization, intellectual squared and English learning promotion. It showed the impact of internet obsession on adolescents' psychological motivation for learning the English language through the Internet. Similarly, the forthcoming synchronization, intellectual squared, and English learning promotion are positively correlated, which reveals the way forward for English language promotion among non-native young people. The research lays the groundwork for further comparative study on the impact of internet obsession on rural and urban high school students in other countries.
