Recently, there has been an increasing interest in incorporating one of the innovative technologies, the iPad, into the learning-teaching process to enhance students' academic success in different educational contexts. However, there are a number of factors that may influence the students' choice whether or not to use the iPad. Therefore, assessing the students' behavioral intentions towards using the iPad is necessary. Accordingly, this paper examines students' behavioral intentions towards using the iPad in their language learning courses through utilizing the Technology Acceptance Model of Davis (1989). Twenty five undergraduate student participants completed the iPad-usage questionnaire to measure their perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEOU), attitude towards usage (ATU), and behavioral intention to use the iPad (BIU) in their integrated language learning courses (reading, writing, listening, and speaking). The results of the study indicated that students' perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of the iPad positively predicted the students' attitudes towards using the iPad and their behavioral intentions to use it in their language classes and other contexts.
