| dc.description.abstract | The current dissertation investigates the influence of American media, namely Social Networking Sites: YouTube, Netflix, and Instagram, in the study of English as a foreign language, taking Master students from the department of English at MMUTO as a case study. This study looks into whether social networking sites help Master's students learn and improve their English language and communication abilities effectively. It also explores whether they are influenced by celebrities and personalities to whom they are exposed everyday on social media. To reach the outcomes we have relied on Albert Bandura’s social learning theory (2014). We have adopted the mixed method approach to conduct our research. A questionnaire to Master students is used as a data collection tool. The data analysis is based on the rule of three to clear up numerical data along with qualitative content analysis (QCA) for the interpretation and the explanation of the results. According to the findings obtained, we have come into the result that social networking sites are effective strategies and play an important role in learning and enhancing English as a foreign language (EFL). More precisely, Master students are deeply influenced by social networking sites’ contents which definitely help them to construct and develop their knowledge in different fields. The findings reached through this study will open more opportunities to investigate deeper in this area of research | |
