Social media platforms (SMPs) are widely used by many users worldwide in different fields, including business, politics, education, and personal enjoyment (Kapoor et al., 2018). However, the use of SMPs for English language vocabulary learning is still under-researched, particularly in a Saudi Arabian context. Alzahrani (2016) and Alqunayeer (2016) have underscored the scarcity of research exploring the use and effect of SMPs on Saudi learners’ vocabulary development, and as these platforms are highly favored in Saudi Arabia, the paucity of research makes the current study timely and pertinent. Furthermore, recent studies in Vietnam and Indonesia have recommended that further research should be conducted regarding the use of SMPs for English language vocabulary learning and indeed for learning English as a second language (Indari & Putri, 2018; Tran, 2016). This paper aims to review the research concerning the use of SMPs for vocabulary learning from 2014 to 2018. Out of 50 peer-reviewed articles, only 15 studies were relevant to SMPs and vocabulary learning. It has been recognized that SMPs are effective in improving learner engagement, motivation, and vocabulary development, suggesting that SMPs can be valuable tools and resources to facilitate learning. The authors have also proposed a definition for the term social media, as one has not been agreed upon in the educational literature, this is not surprising given that the social media phenomenon is still a new and rapidly evolving field of practice and study.

使用社交媒体平台促进学习新语言的词汇发展:文献回顾

社交媒体平台 (SMP) 在全球不同领域被许多用户广泛使用,包括商业、政治、教育和个人娱乐(Kapoor 等人,2018 年)。然而,使用 SMP 进行英语词汇学习的研究仍然不足,特别是在沙特阿拉伯的背景下。Alzahrani (2016) 和 Alqunayeer (2016) 强调了探索 SMP 对沙特学习者词汇发展的使用和影响的研究的稀缺性,并且由于这些平台在沙特阿拉伯受到高度青睐,研究的缺乏使得当前的研究及时且有效。相关的。此外,最近在越南和印度尼西亚的研究建议应进一步研究使用 SMP 进行英语词汇学习和英语作为第二语言的学习(Indari & Putri,2018 年;陈,2016 年)。本文旨在回顾 2014 年至 2018 年有关使用 SMP 进行词汇学习的研究。在 50 篇同行评审文章中,只有 15 篇研究与 SMP 和词汇学习相关。已经认识到 SMP 在提高学习者的参与度、动机和词汇发展方面是有效的,这表明 SMP 可以成为促进学习的宝贵工具和资源。作者还提出了社交媒体一词的定义,因为在教育文献中尚未达成一致,鉴于社交媒体现象仍然是一个新的且快速发展的实践和研究领域,这并不奇怪。只有 15 项研究与 SMP 和词汇学习相关。已经认识到 SMP 在提高学习者的参与度、动机和词汇发展方面是有效的,这表明 SMP 可以成为促进学习的宝贵工具和资源。作者还提出了社交媒体一词的定义,因为在教育文献中尚未达成一致,鉴于社交媒体现象仍然是一个新的且快速发展的实践和研究领域,这并不奇怪。只有 15 项研究与 SMP 和词汇学习相关。已经认识到 SMP 在提高学习者的参与度、动机和词汇发展方面是有效的,这表明 SMP 可以成为促进学习的宝贵工具和资源。作者还提出了社交媒体一词的定义,因为在教育文献中尚未达成一致,鉴于社交媒体现象仍然是一个新的且快速发展的实践和研究领域,这并不奇怪。
