Summary/Abstract: Use of applications integrated into Facebook, such as Quiz your English, Quiz Planet, Word Search Challenge, Word Blitz, LinGo Play, Enguru, 4English App, etc. gives English teachers an opportunity to diversify traditional classroom activities as well as increase their effectiveness. In combination with the built-in components of Facebook, such as group chat, post and poll, they are most helpful in teaching Spoken English remotely. A number of applications engage students into games and team activities, such as quizzes and contests, promoting student-centred learning, which is quite a challenging task for a teacher working online. The Facebook platform can be used to promote both group interactivity and individual interactivity with the educational apps, as well as to encourage facilitated learning. The use of Facebook application is to be demonstrated for a class in spoken English for the Intermediate level (topic “Environment”).
