Facebook in the education context is only to create a learning community online and out of the classroom. Facebook is only seen as a tool for communication, to connect teachers and students out of class, to connect the school staff and also to share information and notifications. Little has been done to explore the possibility of using Facebook to teach language skills as part of the learning experience in and out of the classroom and most students cannot fathom how Facebook can be incorporated into their learning experience other than as entertainment. FB functions are used such as chatting, updating status, messaging friends, commenting on other people’s posts or just mainly getting connected with their friends. Students also use FB for academic purposes which include asking friends about homework and getting updates on what went on in the language class. Findings from the interviews conducted revealed that their teachers were hesitant in using FB as a means to stay connected with their students. Despite the fact that students were open to the notion of using FB as part of the English lesson, teachers were skeptical in using it as an instructional tool. This paper highlights the issue of whether FB can be a viable tool in language learning by providing some recommendations on how it can be used in the classroom. (Noreen .N…, Wei .D)
