Digital technology is essential to today’s education development. Research has shown that the use of digital technology such as Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) and Mobile-assisted Language Learning (MALL) positively impacts language learning. This study investigates the language learners’ perception of using iPad to enhance creative writing and the potential of using iPad to improve creative writing. An online survey adapted from Technology Acceptance Model was distributed to 50 primary school learners using iPad for developing creative writing across Malaysia. The analysis of the responses demonstrated that language learners have a positive perception towards using iPad to enhance creative writing. On this basis, it is recommended that language teachers and learners use iPad or any similar devices to enhance language learning.
