Abstract

This study is to investigates students’ perceptions and experiences of using Twitter as a social media platforms for learning English, with ta focus on the development of reading and speaking skills, vocabulary enrichment, and grammatical awareness. The study employed a qualitative case study design involving students from various semesters in the English Department. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and were analyzed thematically. The findings revealed that students have positive perceptions of using Twitter for English learning. They reported that Twitter facilitates access to authentic English content, supports vocabulary development, encourages interaction with other users, and contributes to the improvement of overall English language skills. However, the study also identifies several challenges experienced by students, including difficulties in understanding unfamiliar slang and complex expressions, limited feedback on language use, confusion in navigating certain features, exposure to unscreened content, and issues related to mispronunciation. These findings indicate that Twitter can serve as a supportive tool for English language learning. However, appropriate guidance and critical use are necessary to maximize its benefits and minimize potential challenges.

Abstract

This study explored EFL university lecturers’ perceptions of generative AI in relation to critical thinking, focusing on perceived opportunities, acceptable-use boundaries, and assessment dilemmas at the University of Zawia, Libya. A mixed-methods descriptive design was used, combining a questionnaire (N = 70) and semi-structured interviews (n = 10). Survey results showed moderate endorsement of AI opportunities for supporting critical thinking (M = 3.93, SD = 1.08), especially for language and comprehension support (M = 4.23, SD = 0.97) and higher-order question generation (M = 4.03, SD = 1.05). However, lecturers strongly emphasized boundaries for acceptable AI use (M = 4.42, SD = 0.89), particularly the need for an institutional policy (M = 4.60, SD = 0.73) and disclosure of AI use (M = 4.49, SD = 0.86). Assessment dilemmas were high (M = 4.17, SD = 0.98), with strongest concern about plagiarism/patchwriting risks (M = 4.40, SD = 0.84) and difficulty judging students’ own critical thinking (M = 4.24, SD = 0.97). Interview findings reinforced a “benefit–boundary tension,” highlighting preference for assessment redesign (in-class writing, oral defense, and process portfolios) over detection-based policing. The study recommends regulated-use guidance, staff training, and student integrity support.
