Part of Conclusion and Recommendation on the Journal

Hello good persons! In this beautiful occasion I wanna continue reviewing International Journal of English Teaching that entitled "USERS' PERCEPTION IN THE USE OF FACEBOOK AS A MEDIUM OF LEARNING ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE WITH SPECIFIC REFERENCE TO WRITING SKILLS." Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org). There are two part of this, Conclusion and Recommendation.

Now, I'd like to review about the conclusion that include in that journal. The conclusion explain that the exposure of senior secondary students to social media is high such that this has negative effects on their writing skills and general linguistic performance as written in the conclusion of journal. The conclusion also explain that using a social media, in this discussion Facebook, can't help student to improve their writing skills. In addition, using social media makes student's writing skills be worst because when they write something about their feeling or they thoughts, they are usually using wrong grammatical rules. They usually write some words with wrong. So, the social media can't help students to improve their English writing skills.

Furthermore, in this part, writer also include the recommendation that given by the researcher. There are 4 point of recommendation of the researcher.

1. Students should decrease their exposure to Facebook and pay more their attention to their writing skills.
2. The examination bodies such as WAEC and NECO should motivate the use of standard English in examination situation. 
3. It is important to recommend that social media should be used more carefully by students when needed and not at all leisure time.
4. Students should be encouraged to write more essays to enable teachers discover and correct their errors.

So, we can conclude that social media can't help students to improve their writing skills and the best way to improve writing skills are learning with the best guided of writing and pay attention about grammatical rules in the writing.

Continuance review part of Discussion of Findings from International Journal of English Teaching

Hello good persons! In this beautiful occasion I wanna continue reviewing International Journal of English Teaching (www.eajournals.org) that entitled "USERS' PERCEPTION IN THE USE OF FACEBOOK AS A MEDIUM OF LEARNING ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE WITH SPECIFIC REFERENCE TO WRITING SKILLS".

Now, I'd like to review about part of Discussion of Findings. In this part, the writer gave the analysis of data collection and discussion of major findings. This part, the writer collected data from 3 aspects. Two aspects came from Co-relational Analysis of the use of the Internet (Facebook) and usage of Social Speak In Students' writing and one aspect came from Analysis of Social Speak's linguistic features in Facebook messaging and in students' sheets.

In the first aspect of Co-relational Analysis of the use of the Internet (Facebook) and usage of Social Speak In Students' writing, the writer has collected data about frequency of social media usage of students who use facebook (30 males and 30 females). The result showed that 63.3% they used facebook at many times a day, 23.3% used it daily, 10% others and 3.3% not used it. So we can conclude that students majority used Facebook often in a days.

In the second aspect of Co-relation between Frequency of Facebook Messaging and Use of Social Speak in Essay, the writer has shown data about frequency of social media usage. The result of the data showed that about 66.4% of students used social media many times a day of frequency of social speak in students' writing. 27% daily, 6.6% others, and 0% not used. So, findings of the study therefore suggest that students' constant use of Facebook with social speak as their communicative habit seriously hampers students' writing skills.

In the last aspect of Analysis of Social Speak's linguistic features in Facebook messaging and in students' sheets. This part has shown data of patterns of occurrence of features of social speak in students' formal writing. Based on the data, the three most dominant features of social speak as observed in this study include: contractions, alphanumeric homophony, and misused punctuation. Contraction represents that 28.7% in social media messages and 37.5% in students' essays. Alphanumeric homophony represents 24.6% in social media messages and 30.9% in students' essays. Misused punctuation represents that 21.7% of such features in social media messages and 22.7% in students' essays.
So we can conclude that there are three most dominant features of social speak as observed in this study both in Facebook messages and students' essays.

I think it is enough. I do apology for all of my mistakes that I've done and I've wrote. Nothing is perfect. To be continued. Soon~

Thank you. 

Continuance From Review Journal

Hello everyone, Now I'm come back to continue reviewing International Journal of English Language Teaching that published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK ( www.eajournals.org ). This journal entitled "USERS' PERCEPTION ON THE USE OF FACEBOOK AS A MEDIUM OF LEARNING ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE WITH SPECIFIC REFERENCE TO WRITING SKILLS". 

Now, I wanna review about parts of the journal there are Statement of the Problem, Research Questions, Significance of the Study, Scope of the Study, Theoretical Framework, and Methodology.

First, Statement of the Problem. In this part, the journal explained how social media, especially Facebook has given explosion effects to the younger generation. This part explained that about 65% of the world's population use social media. Hence, this study tries to investigate the influence of Facebook on the writing skills of Secondary School students.

Second, Research Question. This study attempts to answer only one question: "Does Facebook have any influence on students' writing skills?". Because of when we have toke a look statement of the problem that said about 65% of the world's population use social media, especially Facebook that be our investigation.

Third, Significance of the Study. In this part, the writer explained that it is expected that the findings of this study would contribute to knowledge about the effect of social media on the teaching and learning of English language in Nigeria. As I've wrote before, this journal discuss about the effect of using social media for younger generation, so, the significance of this study also talk about the effect of social media on the teaching language, especially in Nigeria. This research could also become a baseline for further studies on social media and universal learning. Also, this study would contribute immensely to improving students' writing skills, and generally---- their proficiency in English language.

Fourth, Scope of the Study. The scope of the study was written by the writer was narrowed down to the influence of Facebook on writing skills of Senior Secondary School students in Alimoso Local Government, Lagos State, Nigeria. The scope of this study just focus about the influence of Facebook on writing skills student because the writer has narrowed it. So, we can get the point easily.

Fifth, Theoretical Framework. This part, the journal quoted from theory by George Gerbner. Cultivation theory by George Gerbner is one of the core theories of media effects. The central focus of this theory is that persistent long term exposure to media content has small but measurable effects on the perception of the audience and the more a person is exposed to a message provided by the media, the more likely that person believes that the message is real. In this study, the effect of Facebook on students' linguistic expressions is being measured with proportion to its usage. So, that is why the writer chooses theory of George Gerbner as a theoretical framework.

Sixth, Methodology. In this part, writer explained about the methodology for this study. A descriptive survey design was adopted in this study to get the natural quantitative information that is required for this research from the represented population. A simple random sampling technique was used and sixty (60) SS2 students (30 males and 30 females) from Federal Government College, Ijanikin, and King's College, Yaba, Lagos who were Facebook users were studied. The main tools used for the collection of data included questionnaire, sampled social media messages generated by students, and essays (in sheets) produced by the students. These sheets were content-analyzed to determine to what extent "social speak" as observed in their Facebook messages also occurred in the students' answer sheets. Thus, the methodology for this study was used A simple random sampling technique that used for collection of data included questionnaire, sampled social media and essays.
