The term “same interest” can also be used for “same objective” in foreign language classes. There are self-expression and social interaction in SNs, some of the most important contexts for language use, which can be created or imitated by teachers in foreign language FL classrooms to enhance language acquisition. SNs are also popular among the learners. This makes SNs attractive possible sites for FL practice. If the teachers involve the pedagogic material in SNs activities as FL experiences, students can be more motivated and spend more time on the FL tasks. Then, it can be used for communicating and connecting with others in the second language L2 or FL through a class which learners will become well poised to establish relationship with other speakers of L2 via SNs in the future and to become 20 Ben Rigby, Mobilizing Generation 2.0: A Practical Guide to Use Web 2.0, San Francisco: Jossey Bass, 2008, p. 59. 21 Richard Harrison and Michael Thomas, “Identity in Online Communities: Social Networking Sites and Language Learning ”, International Journal of Emerging Technologies Society 7, No. 2, 2009, p. 111.
