Social media has become part of everyday life for English learners, offering authentic input, opportunities for
interaction, and space for self-directed study. Drawing on a conceptual review of recent literature, this study examines
how social media use, student perceptions, and English language learning outcomes relate to one another. The review
shows that positive perceptions and purposeful, education-oriented use of social media are linked to stronger learner
engagement, motivation, and language development. Building on the Technology Acceptance Model (Davis, 1989),
Social Constructivism (Vygotsky, 1978), and Connectivism (Siemens, 2005), the study proposes a conceptual framework
explaining how social media supports English language learning and outlines directions for future empirical research.
