“…Because of these opposing ideas, scholars may need to examine from available literature how Facebook is used in different contexts and to what extent and in what areas of education it is being used. To date, a number of thorough reviews have been carried out regarding the educational use of Facebook (i.e., Aydin, ; Chugh & Ruhi, ; Hew, ; Manca & Ranieri, ; Manca & Ranieri, ; Niu, ; Voivonta & Avraamidou, ; Yang et al, ). However, none of them have focused on the use of Facebook in language pedagogy.…”

The increasing popularity of Facebook has prompted scholars and educators to explore its potentials as a learning environment for various fields of education. Along this line, several reviews of literature have been written about the educational use of Facebook; however, none of them have focused on a specific field of interest such as language pedagogy. Thus, this paper defines the contour of scholarly literature on Facebook as a technology-enhanced learning environment in language teaching and learning. Using Scopus database as a source, 41 scholarly documents were retrieved and analysed. The demographics of the selected studies show that most of the published research came from Asia and were conducted in the higher education context. In terms of foci of interest, most of the studies focused on developing students' general language proficiency and productive skills. Although a great majority of the studies relied on self-report data and preexperimental research, the current literature suggests the viability of integrating Facebook into language pedagogy.Suggestions for future studies are discussed.

“…Sosyal ağların birçok yararının yanında bazı sınırlılıkları da bulunmaktadır. Bu sınırlılıkların başında öğrenci takibinin tam yapılamaması (Chugh ve Ruhi, 2018), motivasyonun sürdürülememesi (Dinçer, 2017;Shapiro vd., 2017) ve etkileşimin tam kurulamaması gelmektedir (Muilenburg ve Berge, 2005).…”

method, the second group utilized Moodle platform and the third group employed Edmodo platform. The data were collected through two distinct scales and interview forms. Educational Materials Evaluation Scale and Educational Materials Motivation Scale were used for collection of quantitative data whereas interview forms were used for the collection of qualitative forms. By the end of the study, it was found that students rated Edmodo platform highly and Facebook interface of Edmodo was impactful in such rating. It was understood that teachers had problems in preparing content in spite of positive inspect toward Edmodo system .It was concluded that the parents carried the concerns of privacy, primarily for social networks, and thus adopted negative manners; and these manners could be altered with the help of systems such as Edmodo.

“…They concluded that the pedagogical affordances of Facebook could be partially implemented. Likewise, Chugh and Ruhi's (2018) narrative review pointed out that social media (e.g., Facebook) can be used as an educational tool to increase teacher-student and student-student interactions in higher education [11]. Niu (2019) further presented four research directions regarding the adoption of Facebook for academic purposes, including an in-depth examination of learning using Facebook, quasi-or true experimental design, the address of potential response bias, adoption of content analysis [12].…”

The emergence of networking has been viewed as a critical educational innovation. To highlight some innovations in educational networking (EN) research, this paper provides a bibliometric overview of international EN research from 2000 to 2018. Based on a keyword search, a total of 1005 journal articles with 13,803 citations were obtained. Through careful bibliometric analyses, three main results were concluded. (1) The growth of EN articles and authors was up by 1.5 times from the first decade (2000–2009) to the current one (2010–2018). (2) The most influential journals (over 300 citations) were identified. The research scope covers education technology, higher education, education policy, and even AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) education. (3) Based on some popular bibliometric indicators, the changes of research trends can be seen from the comparison of the main streams, which are identified from the most influential articles. Classification of the main research streams was presented, providing a typological understanding of the EN literature. In the first decade of research, the two articles which ranked first in terms of overall citations and average citations are Horvat et al. (2003) (232 times) and Coburn and Russell (2008) (17.6 times), respectively. In the last decade, the article by Roblyer et al. (2010) received both the highest number of citations (407) and average citations (45.2). Finally, the main ideas of highly-cited articles were categorized into three research streams. While the EN research of the earlier decade focused on interpersonal relationships, that of the recent decade emphasized on some innovative networking approaches, such as social media for learning, and network-based methodologies. Further discussions are provided.
