Formando alfabetizaciones en la enseñanza del inglés a través de actividades aprendizaje mixto y facebook

Abstract

Taking into account the use of technology, especially Facebook, among youngsters in their daily life and routine, the inclusion of EFL learning through a social network site is a challenge in public schools. This research study proposes the use of different environments and interesting issues in order to engage students in their EFL learning. The research focused on knowing how eleventh graders shaped their EFL literacies through the use of blended learning and Facebook activities in collaborative tasks. The data used in this research included field notes and artifacts, which were analyzed bearing in mind the framework of this research study and the transcription of audio recordings on students’ interactions about tasks based on teenagers’ social problems. The findings of this study show that students participate in the L2 learning process in an active way when they feel that their likes are included in their learning process.
