Facebook (FB) is currently considered as the most popular platform for online social networking among
university students. The purpose of this study is to investigate if university students consider FB as a useful
andmeaningful learning environment that couldsupport, enhance and/or strengthen their learning of the English
language. A survey was carried outwith 300 undergraduate students at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Penang.
It was found that the students believed FB could be utilized as an online environment to facilitate the learning
of English. Nevertheless, teachers or language instructors have to integrate FB as an educational projectwith predetermined
learning objectives and outcomes for the learning experience to be meaningful. It is suggested that
future research should focus on the meaningfulness of FB to students' language learning experiences.
