 Introduction

English language development is easy nowadays because, a learner may get help for online
sources. According to Blood, (2000) , Dyrud et el, (2005) and Kajder & Bull, (2004) there are online
blogs which are available on world wide web and thus the English learners may get help form it while
sharing information. Similarly, Mutum & Wang, (2010) also highlighted this idea that due to this
online blogs and social media sources the visitor send messages and also give comments on different
things which improve the English language ability of learners. There are online communities which
are helpful for English language learning and vocabulary development (Goodwin-Jones, 2003). Social
media enables the users to share their views with others and make social relations with other users
(Gaudeul & Peroni, 2010). Kern, (2006) highlighted that online blogs like social media is greatly
supported by constructivists approach, as their use underscores learners interaction. Ferdig (2007) also
mentioned the importance of social media that it is full of interaction and interaction in language
learning process is necessary and quite helpful.

Social media is basically a media which is used through various electronic devices and
rechargeable devices like mobile phone, computer, tablets, and so many other ways to facilitate the
people while sharing their ideas with others in an easy and systematic way. It is used mostly for
communication and awareness around the world (Kaplan Andreas and Michael, 2010). Social media
is useful in communication and sharing of knowledge because it reach frequency usability, and
facilitate the users as compare to other sources (Pavlik et al, 2015). Social media plays a dominant
role in English language learning because it provides opportunities to the English language learners to
improve their writing, reading, and similarly, to read new text and phrases to improve their
vocabulary.
