Abstract

This article discusses how social media supports language learning by offering real-life interaction with native speakers and exposure to diverse dialects and slang. Platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram provide learners with authentic communication and peer support. While social media enhances language practice, learners should be mindful of informal or incorrect usage. Overall, social media is a valuable tool that complements traditional learning methods by offering dynamic and practical language experiences.
