Abstract

This study is conducted to investigate the students’ use of Facebook (FB) in teaching English writing recount text. The research method employed was an exploratory case study. The number of participants involved in this study was 15 students purposively taken from IPS (Study in Social Sciences/Ilmu Pengetahuan Sosial) class, Al-Manar Islamic Boarding School. To explore their experiences on using FB in writing a recount text, Yunus and Salehi’s (2012) Facebook questionnaire and interview were adopted. The findings elucidated that the majority of respondents believed that FB group helped them in the writing process, especially in using correct vocabulary, brainstorming and the necessity to write in Standard English and Grammar. Their affective domain was influenced through engaging in peers’ feedback via FB group comment and like features. One of the formidable challenges is to write legibly in English formal language and grammar. Thus, teachers are advised to give their maximum attention on teaching writing recount text via FB group with specific instructions.
