Abstract

The study focused on making an application of the use of social networks Facebook, through quasi-experimental research in secondary school students. Two groups were used: one that had its learning with the contents of the subject in Facebook, the second group in contrast to the traditional teaching-learning process. This work was carried out with the support of the teacher of the subject of English. The actions of the investigation were carried out during a period of six months. Conceptual activities were carried out, with multimedia resources and teacher support. Reinforcement activities where the student exercised before the subject that was presented to him, watched videos and made debates prevailed. The topics for the learning of the English language were: simple perfect present verb form, irregular and regular verbs in perfect simple present, simple perfect present concept, rules of use in the grammatical construction of the present simple perfect and reinforcement of the concept of the present perfect simple. The procedure was intended to motivate young people using the Facebook platform in the classroom, as a methodological and innovative strategy in learning, to improve academic performance and the social relationships that derive from its use. It was concluded that this strategy, if it increases the motivation of the students and is easily accepted in academic activities, serves as a support to improve academic results compared to the group that did not apply the experiment.
