With the expansion of various electronic learning methods in educational systems, students' inclination toward technology-based learning has increased. As such, Hybrid Flexible (HyFlex) learning has emerged as an innovative learning model that allows students to choose their preferred mode of class attendance (in-person, online, or offline) based on their individual circumstances. This study aims to assess the satisfaction level of Iranian French language students with HyFlex learning, and identify its advantages and challenges within the Iranian higher education system. Forty-three undergraduate French Language students at Imam Reza International University participated in the study. The research methodology was mixed, with data collected through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with students after two semesters of HyFlex courses. Findings indicate that all four principles of HyFlex Learning (Learner’s choice, Equivalency, Accessibility, and Reusability) contributed to increased student satisfaction; In particular, learner’s choice of class attendance mode, opportunities for personalized learning, and continuous access to resources, coursework and class activities played a significant role in enhancing students’ learning experience. However, challenges such as reduced interaction between in-person and online students, as well as certain technical problems were also identified, which influenced learners’ experience with HyFlex learning. Research findings highlight the importance of providing the necessary technological infrastructure, and implementing appropriate teaching strategies for enhancing interaction between online and in-person students to improve learners’ satisfaction and engagement in HyFlex courses.
