Does Social Media Really Improve English? Evidence from Global Classrooms

Students gather posts, comments, and captions in English, then code them for slang, abbreviations, informal grammar, vocabulary range, and accuracy. Both classes add their samples to a shared dataset and compare them with formal textbook English.

Joint teams review the shared dataset across countries to see how context affects accuracy and range. They then hold a structured debate on whether social media helps or hinders English learning, using evidence to back each side.

Each team creates a short report or podcast with its conclusions, justified by the collected evidence. Both classes present their findings in a joint video session and reflect on what they learned about each other's language use.
