“…306-307). Today more and more computer programs are used to teach foreign languages, among which are learning management systems and mobile applications (Magal-Royo et al, 2017;Mellati et al, 2018;Ortiz & Green, 2019;Pereira, 2019).…”

“…This section has described the way the implementation of social networks might serve as an alternative to promote the normalization of CALL. As Mellati et al (2018) assert, stakeholders and government need to work hand in hand to support financially the normalization of technologies and train teachers in digital literacy. The following section presents another advantage that social networks might offer in L2 learning, which consists of boosting students' motivation to continue with their progress in the target language.…”

“…Since this field needs further exploration, there are counter positions about what types of technologies could be the most appropriate to promote the acquisition of an additional language. Several authors have proposed the use of social networks as an effective alternative to learn a second language (Dehghan et al, 2017;Laghos & Nisiforou, 2018;Mellati et al 2018;Umarqulova, 2020;among others). Nevertheless, several controversial standpoints can also be found in the literature of this field.…”

This article presents a discussion and analysis on the implementation of social networks to support the learning of a second language (L2) in the field of Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL); an area that has regained especial significance in the post pandemic era. Through a cumulative case study report that compares and contrasts several research studies carried out at different times, this article first brings to discussion the strengths that social networks offer for their implementation in L2 instruction. To continue the discussion, the issues of teachers’ CALL training and access are presented as weaknesses for a successful implementation of social networks in the L2 instruction. It is argued that social networks cannot work as effective tools for this purpose without the guidance of a properly trained instructor. Nevertheless, attaining such an ideal condition is challenging considering the problems that might emerge during its implementation. Although it is common that language teachers to some extent include this resource for their L2 classes, more research needs to be done to produce literature that sheds light on the aspects that need to be worked on to take real advantage of this type of technology.

“…Similarly, Blattner and Fiori (2009) asserted that SNS assemble positive connections among learners and give numerous occasions to them to cooperate with friends, educators, and native speakers. Accepting the effect of SNSs on language teaching achievement, Mellati, Khademi, et al (2018) believed that new technologies established authentic and effective interaction between learners even with different interests.…”

Educational networks become the most popular form of instructional technology during the past decades. The effect of this educational technology on the teaching English methodologies has been significantly increased all over the world. The main aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Otus social educational network on the English achievement of Iranian high school English as a foreign language (EFL) learners. It also attempted to find out students' attitudes towards the use of Otus application. To this aim, fifty male language learners were selected based on convenience sampling as the participants of the study. While the lessons and assignments were presented through Otus in the experimental group, the students in the control group had a traditional class. Finally, to explore the learners' attitudes towards the application of Otus, a questionnaire was used. It was found out that the application of Otus had a significant effect on the English achievement of Iranian first-grade high school EFL learners. The findings also indicated that students in the experimental group had positive attitudes towards Otus.
