Use of Social Media for Productive Skills in English as a Foreign Language (EFL)
Öz
Productive skills, speaking and writing, are crucial yet quite difficult skills to master in language learning. For this reason, various methods and techniques are incorporated to enhance speaking and writing skills. This research investigates high school students’ perceptions about the use of social media (YouTube and Blogger) for enhancing productive skills in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning during the hybrid education process at the time of Covid-19 pandemic. Students were given a choice between traditional workbook tasks and creating blog posts on Blogger or videos on YouTube throughout a semester. Case study, one of the qualitative research designs, was used in the study. In this context, convenience sampling, one of the purposive sampling types, was adopted to form the study group, and the study group consisted of 32 participants studying in a private high school during Covid-19 pandemic. Before the implementation began, students were trained on preparing digital content on YouTube and Blogger. Afterwards, students prepared their own digital content throughout the semester. At the end of the implementation, the data were collected via a questionnaire on Google Forms. Descriptive analysis method was used to analyze the qualitative data. The study examines and uncovers a generally positive reception towards the use of Youtube and Blogger for enhancing productive skills in language education. However, variations in responses highlight the need for a nuanced understanding of its effectiveness. This research contributes to discussions on modernizing language education by revealing both the potential benefits and pitfalls of utilizing social media platforms for language skill development.
