This study examined pre-service language teachers’ attitudes towards social networking site (SNS) use for language learning, their SNS practices for improving their target languages, and the relationship between them. 279 English and German language teacher candidates participated in the surveys designed for the present study. The statistical analyses of the data revealed that pre-service language teachers had positive perceptions towards SNS use for the purpose of language development and they took advantage of SNSs to improve their target languages. It was also found that variables such as participants’ departments, years of study, and self-reported SNS literacies significantly affected their attitudes towards SNS use and their SNS practices. Finally, the quantitative data obtained confirmed a significant correlation between teacher candidates’ attitudes and their SNS practices for language learning in general and for particular skills. The results are discussed within the context of relevant scholarship, and the study is concluded with recommendations for future research.

这项研究调查了职前语言教师对于使用社交网站(SNS)进行语言学习的态度,他们用于改进目标语言的SNS做法以及两者之间的关系。279位英语和德语教师候选人参加了为本研究设计的调查。数据的统计分析表明,职前语言教师对出于语言发展目的使用SNS抱有积极的看法,他们利用SNS改进了目标语言。研究还发现,参与者的系,学习年限和自我报告的SNS文学等变量会显着影响他们对SNS使用的态度和SNS做法。最后,所获得的定量数据证实了教师应聘者的态度与他们的SNS实践(对于一般语言学习和特定技能)之间的显着相关性。在相关奖学金的背景下讨论了结果,并在研究结束时提出了对未来研究的建议。
