Abstract


This research aims to explore how English learners perceive the use of the @on-englishfess account on X (formerly Twitter) for vocabulary acquisition. Employing a qualitative, descriptive research design, the study collected data through questionnaires and interviews. The study focused on three types of learners' perspectives, as classified by Wilkinson: negative, neutral, and positive. A Likert scale was used to quantify these perspectives. The research was conducted on X, with implementation in a chat room and via Google Forms. The participants consisted of 35 users of the @on-englishfess account, selected through a stratified random sampling technique. From this group, five learners were interviewed to provide deeper insights into their individual perspectives. The findings indicate that while some learners perceive the account as less effective for vocabulary learning and more suited for leisure, the majority view it positively, appreciating its features and the engagement with other users.
