Abstract

This study aims to explore the impact of social media usage on enhancing English language skills among high school students from the perspective of English language teachers. A descriptive-analytical approach was employed, collecting data from a random sample of 320 English teachers in the Capital Educational Region. A comprehensive questionnaire covering various dimensions, including cognitive, academic, cultural, and personal aspects, was administered. The findings revealed that social media plays a significant role in improving English language skills, including listening, reading, writing, and oral communication, while also boosting students' self-motivation. Furthermore, the analysis indicated no statistically significant differences attributable to variables such as gender, academic qualification, or professional experience, suggesting a consistent influence of these tools regardless of teachers' demographics. Based on these results, the study recommends increasing the use of social media as an interactive tool to enhance English learning and improve students' skills.
