“…The study result reveals that Facebook has an optimistic effect on Thai English teachers' English writing skills and learning endeavors and also suggests that Facebook can be a useful method and recommended platform for English learning. The study also recommends that this tool is not only for English teachers but also to the individual learners or the teachers of other fields (Sirivedin et al 2018). Consequently, Digital English and Education 4.0 are interlinked, and it cannot be separated as it is needed globally; both depend on each other for sustainable growth.…”

Industry 4.0 is a current trend of automation and digitalization of industries. The impacts and importance of Industry 4.0 are reflected in all aspects of our lives. The purpose of this article is to analyze the literatures based on a scoping review method. A lack of digital culture, training, knowledge, and language are also challenges faced by Industry 4.0 while implementing its operations. Digital English and Education 4.0 are also employee competencies of Industry 4.0. The authors have reviewed the literature related to Digital English, Education 4.0, and Industry 4.0 from various resources. Astonishingly, the results show that the studies conducted in these areas are so specific focusing only one of the above-mentioned areas; no research article was identified that detailed the interconnections among these areas. From the scoping review, the study has identified the gaps in the literature. Thus, the study concludes that filling up the gaps and conducting research in these areas are useful to sort out a few of the challenges of Industry 4.0 and it recommends that in future, researchers conduct studies based on the interconnections of Digital English and Education 4.0 for Industry 4.0.

It enhances English as foreign language (EFL) students’ motivations and attitudes towards learning English for specific purposes (ESP) (Tananuraksakul, 2015).…”

The road safety education is essential to reduce road traffic deaths. In this context, this research analyzes whether, through Facebook posts, young adults increase their knowledge of road safety. Twenty-five university students from Ecuador, between 21 and 27 years old, were selected as test subjects. It created a Facebook page where it posted two daily publications (informative and comic). All participants had to interact with their content for approximately four months. Students answered two tests to assess their knowledge of road safety and a survey about the web page. It used qualitative and quantitative approaches to analyze the collected data. As a result, Facebook significantly improved road safety knowledge. The young people agreed with its use in an academic context. This methodology could apply to other fields, given its simplicity and practicality, which can quickly reach a lot of people.
