A short review: 

The main outcome of the research article above is to broaden the advantages as well as disadvantages regarding about using social networking as a tool during English as a second language (ESL) writing classroom. As we have highlighted for the benefit of this such alternative, sure it does will enhance peer encouragement and motivation.  Collaborative learning does occur within the duration of the writing lesson.  Unfortunately, social networking however applying a non face-to-face (F2F) communication which is bad for those students out there. In fact, almost of all the schools in rural areas do not have the ultimate infrastructure and facility in terms of Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) connection as for them to involve themselves into the social networking.

Self Introduction

We made choices for a journey, thus bear in mind end it with glory. This ain't the finishing line, I have come to this so far away since I never expect to choose this path. People around me always keep asking, "How did you learn English better?", "Don't you think that learning English is difficult?". One thing for sure, to make everything that you wanted the most  and make it looks good on you, it should always come together with your passion and determination even attitude. If you do not have these elements, you will be just exactly like a wreck-ship. Hence, learning process through education is precious, to acquire them you need to be more ambitious.
