Social Networks



Social Networks are the new way to make and maintain relationships. Friends, family, business parterns… you have all of them in your networks. Social networks are a phenomenon of increasing popularity. You rarely find a student who is not in a social network so… if you want to attract your students to your class you may interact with them on social networks.
There are many ways to use social networks to teach English as a Foreign Language. You can have a Twitter account, follow your students, make them to follow you and tweet and retweet about the topics of the class… You can also have a group on Facebook and post about the class and make them to comment or post… You can also share pictures about the topics of class on Flickr. The students may get engaged with their own learning.
