Abstract EN
The present article discloses an action research that investigated the applicability of Facebook, as an educational tool to enhance English Foreign Language (EFL) learners’ writing skill.
The research was carried out with ‘Master One’ students at the University of Mohammed Seddik Ben Yahia/Jijel, using a triangulation of qualitative methods- participant observation and focus groups-to collect data.
The analysis of the obtained data showed that the integration of Facebook experience was beneficial in promoting writing and treating some related problems.
However, obstacles like the lack of the net connection, lack of motivation and already formed attitudes represented the main challenges that face its applicability
Abstract FRE
Cet article présente une recherche-action qui a étudié l'applicabilité du Facebook, comme un outil éducatif pour améliorer les compétences d'écriture chez les apprenants d’Anglais comme une langue étrangère.
La recherche a été menée avec des étudiants « Master 01» à l'université de Mohammed Seddik Ben Yahia / Jijel, en utilisant une triangulation de méthodes qualitatives - l'observation des participants et les groupes de discussion - pour recueillir les données.
L'analyse des données obtenues a montré que l'intégration de l’expérience du Facebook a été bénéfique quant à la promotion de l'écriture et le traitement de certains problèmes connexes.
Cependant, des obstacles tels que le problème de la connexion, le manque de motivation et les attitudes déjà formées représentaient les principaux défis auxquels son applicabilité est confrontée
