Opis

This book presents various aspects of utilizing one of the social networking sites, namely Facebook, in English language teaching with the perspectives of pre-service English teachers. Since today's digital learners have different tastes, interests and expectations, it is a must to prepare teacher candidates in line with these expectations and help them gain certain skills and competencies before they step into their real classes. New innovations may not be welcomed in the same way in different educational settings because each school is unique with its context-bound features and learners with different ages, language levels and expectations. Therefore, this book will shed light on the contradictive aspects of using Facebook in English courses and present practical information regarding the implementation of technology.
