Authors : Nouar Assia .

Abstract

This research explores the profound impact of social media on English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning, emphasizing the pivotal role of social media platforms in shaping the EFL experience. Employing a rigorous methodology, the study employs diverse tools to examine the complex dynamics between social media and EFL acquisition. The research aims to understand how social media influences language acquisition, cultural understanding, and communication skills in EFL learners. Using qualitative and quantitative methods such as surveys, interviews, and linguistic analysis, the study establishes a compelling link between active social media engagement and accelerated EFL learning. Learners engaging in purposeful interactions demonstrate increased linguistic competence, cultural awareness, and communication proficiency. The research identifies specific social media tools, including language exchange groups and interactive content, as significant contributors to the observed positive impact. Ultimately, the findings underscore the transformative influence of social media on EFL learning, highlighting the need to integrate these platforms into language education for optimized outcomes in our digitally connected world.
