Abstract	The scope of this article is an investigation into students' attitudes toward blended learning and related concepts (e.g. paperless and traditional classroom). There were 162 students who participated in this study (100 females and 62 males, with the mean age of 18.80 and its standard deviation of 1.16). The study revealed that students prefer blended learning to traditional classroom in EFL context. However, they liked to take English exams in paper-and-pencil form, rather than in digital form. As for submitting English assignments online or personally, their opinions were divided. They also similarly trusted to analog and digital English teaching/learning materials. Students had a moderately positive attitude toward infographics and paperless classroom within EFL environment.Their English proficiency levels were in a positive correlation with their preferences toward blended learning for EFL purposes. The obtained results were discussed in line with contemporary approaches in educational sciences. Additionally, some recommendations for future work in this field were made. (As Provided).
