Summary:The current study has endeavored to explore the level of perception and attitude within ESP Saudi learners toward the application of Blackboard blended based learning. The obtained data included quantitative questionnaires and qualitative semi-structured interviews to reach the aim of the study. In general, questionnaires have revealed students' positive perception and attitudes toward blended learning as a leaning technique experience. This was accompanied by some level of boredom, social isolation, teachers' late response and technical issues in the students' responses. However, semi-structured interviews displayed students' relatively positive perception toward blended learning. Although, they thought it should be used in limited circumstances such as severe weather conditions. The reported issues by students were confronted, investigated, and provided with suggestions and recommendations to be overcome by the educational authorities.
