Abstract

Abstract Hybrid Learning (HL) is a learning approach comprising traditional classroom learning, computer-assisted language learning (CALL), and self-directed learning (SDL) ( Barenfanger, 2005 ). The present study is an investigation of how Iranian advanced EFL learners improved in their autonomy level and vocabulary knowledge by attending a HL vocabulary course. In addition to class attendance, the participants planned, monitored, and evaluated self-directed activities done in SDL gatherings held during the course. The course also incorporated a course weblog, online dictionaries and various vocabulary-related websites. Data was collected quantitatively by means of a final vocabulary test and an autonomy questionnaire, as well as qualitatively via class and weblog observations, and also the learners’ reflective essays. Based on the findings, the learners’ autonomy level and vocabulary knowledge increased after attending this HL course.
