Abstract

Social networking platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, Skype, WeChat and Line, are affecting and reshaping on people’s daily communication. This phenomenon reveals that social networking platforms have the potential to be applied on learning field since communication plays an important part in learning behavior. A number of researchers have reported the promising results of integrating social networking platforms into formal and informal teaching and learning processes. However, less research described on how teachers conducting social networking platforms as tools in distance learning as students’ environment for learning. Therefore, in this study, we propose an online course model that leads us to identify the model can increase the involvement of students during learning activities on social networking platforms. A preliminary observation description was conducted based on the design model we applied and we found that the model could be used to facilitate students’ online learning process. Meanwhile, the students involved in the learning process mentioned that the use of social networking through this model has a positive impact on their studies. They also mentioned that the model can improve their involvement in their online English translation course which was the subject adopted in this study.
