Summary
As the demand for world life skill, English becomes the main key factor to surviving in modernity. A common problem in online teaching activities during the pandemic is when the teacher gives material and starts the discussion about a topic, few students have difficulty in expressing their point of view about it. The students had difficulties expressing their perspectives and understanding on how the teacher explains the material. When I practiced teaching English language, I tried to put social media as their contribution to work achievement to give them a new atmosphere in learning material. Their response was unpredictable; they were so excited using social media to submit the assignment because they felt like there was no pressure through the assignment
