Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the potential benefits and challenges associated with using social media in English language learning, focusing on English education students. The research used a mixed-method design, incorporating questionnaires. The benefits of using social media in learning English are multifaceted and significant. English learning also enhances their digital literacy and technology skills. Social media platforms provide learners with access to authentic language use in real-time contexts, allowing them to observe and engage with native speakers, which enhances their understanding of colloquial expressions and cultural nuances. the interactive nature of social media fosters active participation and communication practice, which are crucial for developing speaking and writing skills. Social media also offers diverse content, from educational videos and articles to interactive exercises and language learning communities, catering to various learning preferences and needs. English education students have identified several challenges when using social media for learning English, alongside potential solutions to these issues. Some challenges are perceived more negatively (distractions, language barriers, and material credibility), others are seen in a more positive light (maintaining focus and self-discipline and balancing time). The perception varies across different aspects of learning English on social media, highlighting the complexity of the experience and the individual preferences and challenges of the respondents. It is essential to consider these perceptions when designing educational strategies and support systems for learners on social media platforms.

Abstract

A learning resource centre must have facilities that can be used by students in seeking information and knowledge. The present study aimed to investigate the students’ perception of the physical needs of resource centre to support English language learning. The study employed qualitative approach with a case study design. The participants of the research were 104 English Department students. Questionnaire and interview were used to collect the data. The results showed that there was a neutral indication on students’ perception of the physical needs of the LRC. The language resource centre facilitated the students to find out some references for course assignments, to obtain addition information on certain subject, to enrich students’ knowledge through book review program, and to build independent learning through digitalization. However, the availability of up-to-date materials collection, EFL website access, and sustainable language program should be developed and qualified. Therefore, a constructive solution is needed to optimize the functions of learning resource centre to support English language learning.
