Abstract
The greatest achievement of technology, the Internet, not only changed the lifestyles of the
world population, but also created unheard of before opportunities for learning and teaching
foreign languages. The development of technology provided the important shift from the
informational Web 1.0 to the social Web 2.0, which allows involving users in active
communication and collaboration with each other. The number of social media websites keeps
constantly increasing, which makes them available to learners all over the world.
This article aims at examining use of social media websites by the university students who
study English for Law and Customs Activities. The current research data are compared with
the results obtained by A. Paciuk (2012) with the students of the same specialization. Some
similarities and statistical correlations between the findings for ‘often used’ sites have been
found, but results differ significantly for ‘sometimes used’ or ‘never used’ sites.
