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.
