Proof of English proficiency is a mandatory requirement for the completion of all undergraduate degree programs in Israel. To that end, English courses at different levels are integrated into the various curricula. Over the years, academic institutions have dealt with this challenge. In 2019, following the work of an expert committee, the Council of Higher Education approved a reform in English studies, under which the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference) “European model for evaluating languages” standard was adopted for English as a foreign language. The CEFR model extends the previously required skill set to include the teaching of all four skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking. As we know, alongside all the above, higher education institutions have had to deal with the challenges posed by COVID-19. However, these challenges presented opportunities in the form of innovative/divergent thinking about teaching. Some institutions examined the creation of hybrid courses combining online and frontal teaching. This article presents the construction of a hybrid course that meets college requirements and is suited to the students while meeting several basic principles: the course must be meaningful, measurable, extendable, and accessible. The hybrid course is asynchronous and supported by a teaching instructor who holds a number of meetings during the course of the semester. The online part uses innovative technological elements, such as artificial intelligence and deep learning. These elements are designed to address the challenges of imparting all four language skills. In this respect, the tool is an innovation in the Israeli academic world, in terms of its unique academic challenge, its teaching methodologies, and its integration of technology into the teaching and assessment process, and all this while taking into account with the COVID-19 restrictions. The courses presented in this article have been in use since June 2021 (the summer semester in Israel)
