Abstract

The purposes of this research were to explain the extent of social media‟s roles towards students‟ English vocabulary acquisition and also to describe the role of social media towards students‟ vocabulary acquisition regarding their respective social media usage. It uses the case study method. The data which were needed for this research were gathered from questionnaire and vocabulary test. The data gathered from the questionnaire were then analyzed using data percentage method and social media activeness classification method from Nuraini (2011). Those methods were done in order to classify the students according to their social media activeness. Meanwhile, the data which were gathered from the vocabulary test were analyzed using data mean method to find out the students average vocabulary score and the comparison between their social media activeness and vocabulary score average. The research shows that there were score differences between students with different level of social media activeness. Most of the students with higher social media activeness were able to get better vocabulary score than those with the lower social media activeness, though there were some students with lower social media activeness that could achieve better score than those who were highly active. The condition shows that social media have their role in students‟ vocabulary acquisition. As the researcher, I suggest that both EFL teachers and students try to use social media as the media of language learning.
