Early on social media was only used as a method of communication; however, as diverse learning requirements and media emerged, EFL students began to use social media as a learning medium, specifically for learning English. This trend is expected to continue to an indefinite time limit. In addition to developing their English language abilities, EFL leaner can improve their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. This research seeks to determine how social media can assist EFL students in improving their writing skills. This study identified 118 articles using a qualitative systematic review; however, only 11 articles matched the research topic and were included in the analysis. Those articles find out from the world’s databases. Looking to the outcomes of this research, students of English as a foreign language (EFL) can improve their writing abilities and keep their motivation levels high while studying by making use of the features that are made available on social media platforms. Students of English as a foreign language (EFL) can evaluate their writing skills by contributing to every posting page on each platform. More investigations can be conducted to investigate the benefits of writing on Instagram, such as creative writing in the classroom and research on a global scale.

“…Another limitation related to sharing pertains to the issue of screen sharing since Facebook does not have such a feature. Ghimire (2022), on the other hand, reported in his study about an English teacher who used Facebook as one of the social media in her class. He found that its use was an issue among the students in the teacher's class.…”

Many have used Facebook to stay connected with family, relatives, and friends. It is also used to share and exchange information. Nevertheless, the platform can be used for teaching as well. The study, therefore, investigates its use among preservice teachers in terms of assisting them in their teaching. Also, the study attempts to identify how the platform enhances teaching. Finally, it identifies the factors that impede them from using the teaching platform. In terms of methodology, the study employed qualitative research, namely exploratory research design employing 36 teachers as the samples. The study's findings produced three (3) major themes and ten (10) sub-themes following the research questions formulated. The study implied that Facebook is a potential platform teacher can use, although some were reluctant to use it. Teachers who are in the latter group believe that Facebook is a distraction. Therefore, they rejected its use to prevent their students from deviating when the platform is used in learning.

“…This can lead to a lack of confidence in using social media platforms, as well as a lack of understanding of how to maximize the potential of these tools to enhance learning and promote higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) among students. Additionally, according to Ghimire (2022), there may be concerns about the appropriateness of social media use in the classroom and about privacy, safety, and cyberbullying. Therefore, there is a need for professional development and support to help teachers effectively integrate social media into their language teaching practice while promoting a safe and positive learning environment.…”

Technology has proliferated and has become prominent in the education world over the past few years. Technology has become a way not only to meet the learner's needs but also to address digital literacy emphasis in 21st-century skills. This paper explores the optimization of social media in language teaching to maximize higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) among secondary school teachers. Social media platforms offer opportunities to engage students actively, promote critical thinking, and encourage meaningful interactions. By strategically incorporating social media, teachers can enhance students' learning experiences and foster HOTS development. This paper discusses key considerations and strategies for effective implementation, such as selecting appropriate platforms, encouraging collaboration and discussion, promoting critical thinking, incorporating multimedia content, providing authentic learning experiences, setting guidelines and privacy considerations, and reflecting on the impact. The integration of social media should complement traditional instructional methods, ensuring alignment with curriculum goals and educational standards. This paper aims to guide teachers in leveraging social media effectively to optimize language teaching and promote HOTS among secondary school students.
