Nowadays Facebook belongs to the everyday reality of most university students. The paper approaches this social networking site from an educational perspective. Thus, the goal of the pilot research is to study EAP students’ perceptions towards Facebook as an educational tool and their initial perceptions of using this social network in an EFL course. A small-scale (N=29), questionnaire-based qualitative survey was conducted in order to achieve the study objective. The findings are arranged to three categories: students’ use of Facebook in general; students’ use of Facebook for educational purposes; students’ initial perceptions of Facebook group as an extension of the EAP course.
СОЦИАЛЬНАЯ СЕТЬ «ФЕЙСБУК» КАК ДОПОЛНИТЕЛЬНЫЙ ИНСТРУМЕНТ ОБУЧЕНИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОМУ ЯЗЫКУ КАК ИНОСТРАННОМУ (АНКЕТИРОВАНИЕ СТУДЕНТОВ ВУЗА)
В настоящее время социальная сеть «Фейсбук» прочно вошла в жизнь студентов вузов. В статье данный феномен рассматривается с точки зрения его обучающего потенциала. Цель проведенного исследования – выявить отношение студентов к «Фейсбук» как инструменту образования и их ожидания от использования данной социальной сети с целью изучения английского языка как иностранного. Для достижения поставленной цели было проведено маломасштабное анкетирование (29 студентов), результаты которого представлены в трех категориях: использование «Фейсбук» в целом; использование «Фейсбук» в образовательных целях; использование «Фейсбук» как дополнительного инструмента изучения курса английского языка для академических целей.
