This study aimed to examine the impact of a cloud computing environment on vocabulary acquisition, autonomy, and attitudes toward language learning of Iranian EFL learners. The used research design was quasi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of this research was made up of 200 English language learners aged 16-20 studying at Iran National Language Institution, Shahin Dezh, Iran, and among them 60 students who were approximately at the same vocabulary, autonomy and attitude level based on the scores of the Nelson test and the pre-tests were assigned randomly to two control and experimental groups of 30 each. Then, in order to carry out the research in the present research, cloud computing environment was used for the experimental group. The treatment lasted 10 sessions. The results of the research showed that the average scores of the variables of vocabulary knowledge, autonomy and attitude toward language learning in language learners of the experimental group compared to the language learners of the control group had a significant difference in the post-test stage and the implementation of cloud computing environment has improved vocabulary knowledge, autonomy and attitude toward language learning in the language learners of the experimental group. Cloud platforms give learners access to a wide range of multimedia resources, including videos, podcasts, and articles. Implementing cloud-based learning systems can enhance the quality of language instruction, offering students more interactive and personalized learning experiences.
