Students’ Attitudes towards the Integration of Social Media in English as a Foreign Language Classes

Abstract

The current study explores the value of social media in English as a foreign language (EFL) classes from the perspective of forty intermediate level students studying at Arrass College of Technology in Saudi Arabia, who had been exposed to this type of media. The study uses quantitative data derived from anonymous, semi - structured questionnaires distributed to students. The results of this study show that most students appear to hold an overwhelmingly positive attitude regarding the integration of social media in EFL classes with an awareness of some factors that may facilitate or obstruct learning via online learning environments .
