Abstract: This article discusses the impact of Social Media on the current landscape of English teaching and learning. Initially emerging from the realm of Social Networking, Social Media has long been part of informal education through avenues like teleconferencing and distance learning. Over time, it has evolved into a more advanced platform known as e-learning. The utilization of newer Social Media platforms such as Facebook and YouTube has sparked debates and diverse opinions, as evidenced by various studies. Consequently, there is a need to reassess the roles of teachers and learners, along with their emotional and attitudinal responses to the use of Social Media in education, given its inevitable integration into our daily routines.
