The present study aimed to investigate the effect of supplemental blended learning on Iranian EFL learners’ listening comprehension. A sample of 60 male Iranian EFL learners was selected from a population of 100 learners, studying English at Pardis Language Institute, Hamadan, Iran via double-stage sampling. After being selected, the participants were divided into 2 groups, one control group and one experimental group. In the treatment sessions, all participants took part in listening parts of American English File (book 2). The participants in the control group received the usual procedure of teaching listening in the institute. In the experimental group, the students received target language input via videos and supplementary reading materials in advance of classes so that they had sufficient exposure to the input. The listening topics were uploaded on a common social networking site i.e. telegram application which was also reserved for giving teachers’ feedback on the students’ questions. The results of data analysis showed that supplemental blended learning had a statistically significant effect on EFL learners’ listening comprehension. In other words, the research question was answered positively and the corresponding null hypothesis was rejected.
