VietTESOL International Convention 2022
Nha Trang University, September 16-18
Social media as a learning platform has widely been drawn much attention by pedagogists since the breakdown of Covid-19 pandemic. This study aims to investigate how students in a public university in Vietnam perceived Facebook in terms of ease of use, usefulness, and attitude toward the use of Facebook for studying English and found out whether these factors were correlated. The participants were 85 first-year non-English major students who took an English course in the first semester of 2021 - 2022 academic year. The vocabulary pre-test and post-test and the questionnaire were used for data collection. The results of this study revealed that overall mean scores of perceived eases of use and perceived usefulness were at a high level, and most of students had a positive attitude toward the use of Facebook for studying English. Results also showed positive effect of using Facebook on improving the students' vocabulary enrichment of the experimental group, compared to the control group. Utilizing Facebook as a teaching and learning tool was recommended for English teachers and students.
