Abstract

The massive use of social media urges teachers, curriculum designers, and students to bring it into class discussion. This study aims at describing students’ experience when they were assigned to join an international group membership on Facebook. By using descriptive design, this study pictures out the challenges that the students encountered, such as cultural gap, time and spatial gap, age gap, and topic familiarity as students were free to choose the group. Thus, this study gives a space for students’ voice about integrating Facebook into learning. This study proves that students develop their skills in maintaining communication resembled to the natural communication setting, but still find out that cultural misunderstanding, difficult topics being discussed, and linguistics problems which triggered them become silent readers. It implies that when teachers bring Facebook into classroom, they need to see it as a medium which is not developed for learning purpose.
