“…Perceived communicative competence is another predictor of foreign language learners’ willingness to communicate ( Elahi Shirvan et al, 2019 ). Studies have shown that using social media affects learners’ perceived communicative competence (e.g., Boatis et al, 2020 ; Yekimov et al, 2021 ; Nelyska, 2022 ). Morreale et al (2015) mentioned that the ability of learners to communicate competently is impacted by how they use the newer communication technologies now ubiquitous in their daily lives.…”

Promoting English as a Foreign Language (EEL) learners’ willingness to communicate and self-efficacy in different contexts has drawn the attention of many investigators. This review explored the effect of digital-based flipped learning classrooms on enhancing learners’ willingness to communicate and self-efficacy. The related literature indicated that learners’ intention to communicate is affected by social media and digitalized materials used in flipped classrooms. Compared to the traditional educational contexts, this review showed higher levels of self-efficacy in flipped classrooms among EFL learners. Furthermore, the review expounded on the implications and future directions for EFL teachers, teacher educators, educational policy-makers, and advisors. The ideas can improve their awareness of learner self-efficacy, willingness to communicate, and the use of flipped learning approach in educational contexts.

“…Results shed a positive light on the use of blogs for these pre-service teachers and highlighted that the participating students rate the technological tools positively but not as expected by the researchers. Yekimov et al [9] in their study on the formation of communicative competence in foreign languages rightly point out that the employment of social networks in foreign language classrooms allows teachers to make teaching more flexible and efficient, and convenient for students. This convenience leads to easy learning and thereby motivates students to learn a foreign language.…”

“…The use of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp can provide learners with an appropriate platform for interaction with natives and among themselves and with their teachers. This shall have an overall impact on enhancing the communicative competence [9][10][11] of the learners and can assist teachers in making the teaching-learning process more motivating and engaging. The use of social media as an effective language-learning tool seems very interesting and quite motivating [12][13][14][15] for the students considering that they take control of their learning process by enhancing their autonomy [16][17].…”

Research on social media in the foreign language classroom has grown significantly in the last decade. The usage of social media has increased many times during the pandemic due to known reasons. The aim of the present study is to examine the perception of the use of social media in learning Spanish as a foreign language in a non-native context. The research was carried out in Indian Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) where Spanish is taught as a foreign language at graduate and undergraduate levels. The objective was to explore the attitudes and perceptions of the students towards the use of social media platforms for learning Spanish as a foreign language and examine the differences in its use concerning gender, background and year of study. The research study was developed in the quantitative framework with the use of a comprehensive questionnaire as an instrument in this study. The results showed that the students tend to use social media for enhancing and reinforcing their communication skills and language learning capabilities including reading, writing, and learning new phrases and structures. Moreover, the study also found the benefits of collaborative learning embedded during the use of social media, which helped in improving the learning process sophistically.

In the current research, the impacts of portfolio assessment (PA) on the grit tendencies, motivation, and willingness to communicate (WTC) of Saudi Arabian EFL learners were examined. The population of this study was fifty-eight EFL learners who were assigned to two groups in order to accomplish this purpose. Following that, both groups were given the WTC, grit tendencies, and motivation pre-tests to gauge the participants' proficiency in the dependent variables. After that, the students in the control group received the instruction without the use of PA, while the experimental group (EG) received treatment utilizing PA. Following the treatment, the two groups completed the WTC, grit tendencies, and motivation post-tests. The results revealed differences between the two groups' post-test scores, with the EG performing better. These findings imply that teachers can exploit portfolios to provide their students with relevant content that will help them improve their language proficiency.
