AB  - The aim of this article was twofold. First, it considered the effect of social networks (Telegram) on thevocabulary knowledge of the participants, then it compared the participants’ responses in IRF (initiation,response, & feedback) pattern in two different settings (traditional class and the online one). A group offoreign language learners took the Nelson Proficiency Test and a total of 60 learners were selected to participatein the study. Then they were randomly assigned to an experimental and a control group. After the treatment,the pre-test and post-test results were compared. For the second part of the study, the participants’ commentswere analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The results revealed a significant difference between the twogroups, not only in their vocabulary knowledge but also in the way they communicated. This study hasimplications for both teachers and learners to increase their awareness of the benefits of new opportunitiesprovided by technology in teaching-learning process.
