在本文中，我们研究了使用Facebook（FB）作为社交网络工具，在中级法语班。在回顾了关于FB在语言教学中的研究之后，我们分析了对学生和学生FB帖子的调查。我们看看社交媒体的潜在好处，特别是FB，并讨论其对外语学习的影响。我们的目标是解决FB是如何在语言课堂上使用，学生如何应对这个社会网络网站的整合课程，高等教育外语学习者对FB的态度，以及FB在新的学习空间和今天的学习者的作用。调查数据的分析表明，学生对FB在教育中的使用作出积极的反应，并强调FB在个人和学术环境中使用的方式存在一些差异。
In this paper, we examine the use of Facebook (FB) as a social networking tool in an intermediate French class. After reviewing the available studies on FB in language instruction, we analyze surveys that were administered to students as well as student FB posts. We look at the potential benefits of social media, specifically FB, and discuss its impact on foreign language learning. We aim to address how FB is being used in the language classroom, how students respond to the integration of this social networking site in courses, the attitudes of higher education foreign language learners towards FB, as well as the role of FB in new learning spaces and with today's learners. An analysis of survey data suggests that students respond in a positive manner toward the use of FB in education and highlights some differences in the way FB is used in both personal and academic settings.
