Abstract

Social media has become an integral part of students' lives. The number of students' social media accounts in Egypt is increasing rapidly. Social media open new horizons for learning. Students can share, comment, and follow any topic of their interests. Availability of videos, audios, and photos encourages students to participate in this virtual community. Teachers of English should benefit from the ubiquitous learning offered by social media to develop their students' language skills anywhere and anytime. They should offer variety of activities using different social media applications in light of their students' interests so that learning English will become a continuous process crossing the walls of classrooms. This article highlights both the possibilities and benefits of using social media in TEFL in an attempt to encourage teachers to implement these applications in their teaching
