Abstract
This study examines the impact of adopting the Modified Learning Cycle (7E'S) on the Knowledge of English Language Grammar Concepts and Autonomous Learning among EFL Iraqi Students. The experimental approach is employed to accomplish these goals in which the grammar achievement test and Autonomy questionnaire are used in a pretest-posttest design. 50 students were split into two equivalent groups, chosen from the total population randomly. The findings showed that the 7E Model was positive in developing Iraqi Students' English Grammar knowledge and enhancing their Autonomy. The findings indicated significant differences attributed to the effectiveness of the 7E Model.
