“…Nevertheless, different types of learners will benefi t from the social media platform, including those who are introverted and reticent learners (Chew and Ng, 2021;Xin and Yunus, 2019;Halif et al, 2020). Introverted and reticent learners prefer to use social media to learn English rather than in the classroom as they fear being mocked by their peers, making mistakes, or being judged by others (Cunningham & Watson, 2018;Shao & Gao, 2016).…”

Of the many uses of social media, educationists advocate its use for teaching the English language. The traditional method of learning the English language is associated with inattention among learners. The adoption of social media in teaching the English language can create a fun, stress-free, and pleasant environment that is able to cultivate a positive attitude among the learners. Hence, this study carried out a systematic review to assess the use of social media for English learning in the Southeast Asia context. The study systematically searched the peer-reviewed literature using the SCOPUS database and identified 46 articles. After thorough reading, 21 articles met the inclusion criteria. Articles that were excluded from the analysis were conducted outside Southeast Asia, do not focus on Southeast Asia’s English learning, and do not engage with social media usage. The findings suggest that the use of social media for English learning was associated with improving communication skills, enhancing collaborative learning, encouraging self-directed learning, enhancing writing skill and learning experience.

English is one of the essential subjects for today's learning. Learning that integrates elements to help students in understanding the basic rules or grammar of English language is advisable to be applied, including by integrating the use of social media. Many extensive researches on various aspects of online English language learning have been conducted in the past studies. However, there has been limited focus on integrating social media in primary school English language learning. Therefore, this study aims to examine the methods and advantages gained from the integration of social media in primary school English language learning. This systematic literature review incorporates five selected articles that underwent a selection and exclusion process based on the guidelines provided by PRISMA 2020. The study results indicate that informal methods are more commonly used for integrating social media into English language learning. Additionally, the study highlights the advantages gained by teachers and students through the integration of social media in English language learning.

Generation Alpha are the first to grow up immersed in digital technology and presumed to be wired differently than previous generations. This systematic review synthesizes the research literature on what has been learned so far and broadly answers the following question: What is happening in the education and training of Generation Alpha? The literature review was conducted based on guidelines outlined by The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Titles of 2,093 studies, abstracts of 603 studies, and 335 full-text studies were evaluated for inclusion criteria. A total of 83 studies were included into the literature review. The studies were sorted into four major categories: (1) the role of teachers, (2) the role of new approaches to education, (3) the role of teaching tools, and (4) the role of blended/online learning. Despite frequent use of the term “Generation Alpha” in the research literature, relatively few studies report generational differences that reveal how children of this generation are characteristically different from previous generations. There is simply a strong assumption that Generation Alpha is different. A major concern is that the use of technology by Generation Alpha has decreased opportunities for social-emotional development and increased mental health problems. There are digital educational tools and online strategies being developed and tested but none have emerged to be dominant.
