Abstract EN
This exploratory case study aimed at investigating the studentteachers’ views on using Facebook games for language learning.
The participants were 48 student-teachers at the EFL Department of the Faculty of Education at a Libyan public university.
They were required to play Facebook games for two weeks and then present their experiences through oral presentations and reflective journals.
Data were collected through student-teachers’ presentations and reflective journals.
Data were analyzed qualitatively using a thematic inductive approach.
Although few student-teachers had negative views, most of the student-teachers had positive views on using Facebook games for learning.
They believed that Facebook games teach players following instructions and provide opportunities for language improvement, especially for vocabulary learning.
We expect that our findings would provide teachers and practitioners with ideas for classroom research and encourage researchers to conduct further and more rigorous testing on integrating Facebook games into the EFL classroom.
