Summary/Abstract: This study aims to explore the attitudes of EFL students in Jane Austen’s novel Pride and Prejudice, and to identify the effect of social media technology on understanding the novel. Jane Austen is considered as the pioneer writer of feminine literature, who redefined British society, by narrating with intelligence and irony the human relations of the society of the early nineteenth century and dreamed of a world in which women could advance until they reach their desired and deserved social status. Pride and Prejudice is one of Austen’s best novels. The essay emphasizes on sharing more than one student with their teacher for analyzing the novel. The study consists of two parts: the first is a literary analysis paper of Pride and Prejudice, and the second is the searching of the EFL students' attitude towards Austen’s novel after using social media technology.
