Self-directed learning (SDL) is a process where students take control of their education, identify and understand their learning needs, and set goals. The use of educational apps and websites enables SDL because they provide the opportunity for learners to initiate their learning and independently search for materials and information online at any time. The present mixed-method study aims to examine how Iranian EFL self-directed students feel about educational apps and websites. A sample of seventy undergraduate students were selected throw convenient sampling. The participants were then administered a self-rating scale of self-directed learning or SRSSDL. To gather the required data, the researchers used an adapted questionnaire and semi-structured interviews to investigate EFL self-directed learners’ feelings about educational apps and websites. After analyzing the data from both the questionnaire and interviews using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis, the results showed that educational apps and websites have a positive impact on Iranian BA self-directed learners’ attitudes and language learning experiences. The findings of this study could be useful in the field of language education since they will determine the attitudes of EFL learners toward those apps and websites. Moreover, these insights contribute to the growing body of research in educational technology and self-directed learning.
