„Фейсбук“ като инструмент за изучаване на чужди езици
Facebook as a Tool for Learning Foreign Languages

Summary/Abstract: The article examines the use of Facebook as a tool for learning foreign languages. A review of the scientific literature on the topic is made, with the focus on publications from the last decade. The fact that Facebook does not provide educational services is emphasized, but due to the rapid spread of information, it is a preferred tool for many educational institutions – state and private. As for learning foreign languages, the article provides specific examples of providers of foreign language educational services who promote their activities for free through Facebook, where they also find followers, some of whom subsequently subscribe to their paid services. A survey is also described, whose respondents are real Facebook users. We reach the conclusion that the world’s leading social network is not an effective method for learning foreign languages. The study can be used in the training of teachers who work with children with special educational needs and disabilities, for whom Facebook can be a useful additional tool depending on the degree of their disabilities.
