THE USED OF ENGLISH ON THREE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS TO

IMPROVE VOCABULARY

Introduction

Method of learning one language in cuurent trend has become easier. People do not

have to spend much times or money. Social media has become one important tool to

improve one’s language ability such as vocabulary. According to Fewkes & McCabe,

Fischer, Jarvis & Achilleos, “The English language is acknowledged as the lingua

franca of languages, and within the last decade, much attention has been paid to the

use of social media platforms in language learning, whether through computers or

mobile devices such as mobile phones or tablets” (92-98). However, as the concept

of social media has only been around for the last few decades, it can be viewed from

a historical perspective to be a relatively new form of communication and learning

process. The social media that most people use nowadays is google, instagram, and

youtube. Those three platforms are known as the most usefull apps compared to

others platforms.

Google comes as the first platform used by a lot of people. People will directly look

for articles, stories, vocabularies using google. There are a lot of options that they get

on google when searching for something. Google also helps its users in describing

the confused words or some unfamiliar words people have not heard before.
Instagram comes as the second app used by most people to increasing ones’

vocabularies. This app has been used by many people to chat with friends from many

countries that will be helpful in enriching vocabularies. People can also see some

posts shared by some english-teaching users. The most are mostly the new english

words that can relate study such as toefl, ielts and others.

The last one is youtube. Youtube has known as the app that most people use to watch

videos. However, it can helps the users in enchricing their vocabularies through the

videos they have watched. They can also use youtube to search for some facsinating

videos they want to watch to improve their English more specifically about

vocabularies.

To conclude, using the three apps above in increasing ones’s vocabularies are the

most usefull ways. The differences between these three platforms may be interesting

for some people to pick which one they can stick to it in increasing the vocabularies.
