It is widely believed that learning second language at all educational levels, especially at the university level, can be made more successful with the Managements' Support Informational Technology (IT) Usage While Learning Second Language. IT usage has the potential to change and improve the students’ learning methodology and enhance learning outcomes. Therefore, this paper aims to examine and measure managements' willingness to support IT usage while learning second language and its Influence on students' learning methodology at universities in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The research is empirical. The survey study was conducted among 150 students of private and public university in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The respondents were students from 18 to 30, male and female students learning second language. The survey conducted questions related to students’ perceptions and behaviours regarding managements' willingness to support IT usage, usefulness, intentions to use IT while learning second language and influence on their learning methodology. The participants’ responses were collected, encoded, entered into the computer file and analyzed using Microsoft Excel spreadsheet program. Findings from the research provide a basis for further research that would address current limitations and extend research to other adoption issues in varying tasks, contexts and participants.
