I would not have begun this journey if it being for help of many people. First and foremost, I would like to express my special thanks to my supervisor, Mrs.Thu for her great guidance and valuable advice, encouragement and correction, without which my graduation paper would not have been accomplished.
Besides, I truly appreciate all the teachers from Foreign Language Department of HPU, who taught me enthusiastically over the last 4 years. I am also grateful to all freshmen English major students at HPU for their dynamic and enthusiastic participation in my research. Their sharing, complementation immeasurably contributed to the majority data of the study. Finally, my sincere thanks go to my parents, friends who have given me much support both physically and mentally.
I could not have been able overcome all of this without them. I ABSTRACT This study examines the negative impacts of social media on English learning among freshman English majors at Haiphong University of Management and Technology. The increasing prevalence of social media has revolutionized communication and information exchange, but it has also brought about several challenges for English learners. This research investigates the specific detrimental effects that social media platforms have on the English learning process of students.
The study employs a mixed-methods approach, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. A survey questionnaire was administered to a sample of freshman English majors to gather information on their social media usage habits, perceived impact on English learning, and related factors. Additionally, semi- structured interviews were conducted to gain in-depth insights into the students' experiences and perspectives. The findings of the study reveal various negative influences of social media on English learning.
Firstly, excessive time spent on social media leads to reduced study time and decreased engagement in English language activities. Secondly, the informal nature of communication on social media platforms promotes the use of colloquial language and shortcuts, hindering the development of formal English proficiency. Thirdly, the constant exposure to abbreviated language and slang on social media negatively affects students' writing and spelling skills. Moreover, social media can contribute to distractions and multitasking, causing difficulty in maintaining focus and concentration during English classes.
The study also highlights the impact of social media on students' self-esteem and motivation, as the constant comparison with peers' language abilities on social media can lead to feelings of inadequacy and discouragement. In conclusion, this research demonstrates the negative impacts of social media on English learning among freshman English majors at Haiphong University of Management and Technology. The findings emphasize the importance of raising awareness among students about the potential detriments of excessive social media usage and the need to strike a balance between online activities and academic pursuits. Educational institutions and English language educators should also consider incorporating strategies to mitigate these negative effects and promote effective English learning in the digital age.
