The popularity of social network or social media tools has
increased over the past years. It has influenced all people in the world,
include learners and teachers. The apparent growth of social media has
transformed traditional classrooms into modern settings. Nowadays, social media
has been used for teaching and learning media as it is very interactive and
challenging. It has particularly influenced development of online language
learning, enabling students to easily connect and communicate with people
around the world and fine the available place in online schools or academies.
Many schools and
teachers have tried to analyze the benefit of using social media in their class
and it is almost amazing. Learners feel more fun in learning and teachers feel
very happy as it facilitates them to improve their students’ motivation in
learning, especially language. As real-life communication is different from
what students see in books, the online space can do much for students’ language
proficiency improvement. All about social media and language learning can be
read in this journal Social Network and Language Learning
