Abstract
The implementation of technology in the classroom has allowed language teachers to promote and adopt student-centred approaches. Mobile Instant Messaging (MIM) applications are on the frontline as one of the most widely used social networking platforms holding great potential for language learning and teaching. This preliminary study tries to understand if Spanish teenagers and young adults who study English as a Foreign Language (EFL) consider MIM as a significant learning platform that can help improve and support their language learning skills. The survey target participants were 22 students, aged 13 to 18, who study EFL as an extracurricular activity in a private language school. This study suggests that MIMs can be useful support tools and motivating for students. It also shows willingness of participants towards the use of MIM in their classroom.
