    Very few studies have been conducted to investigate the role of web tools that teach English vocabulary via subtitles and American Sign Language to deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) individuals. The present research is conducted among 27 DHH participants to investigate the role of a web tool that is specifically designed for DHH individuals and utilizes American Sign Language (ASL) and subtitles as teaching tools. Designed as a pretest-postest mixed method study both quantitative and qualitative data were collected to identify the vocabulary gains of the participants. Data collection tools constituted a pretest and a posttest quizzes (21 quizzes in total) and interviews with the participants. The results of the quantitative part indicated a significant difference on the pretest and posttest in terms of success rate of the participants. The research also compared genders however, no significant difference was found even though females were found to have a slightly more success rate. Finally, the results of the qualitative part revealed various opinions in relation the attractiveness of the quizzes, number of questions and flexibility of the videos in terms of time and space, and the lack of interactiveness on the website.
