Abstract

This research study was established from 2011 to 2013 to show that the Facebook, currently the most popular and successful social network, could be used as a teaching tool, to solve the problem of evaluating subjects in English. Hypothetical deductive method and Excel for statistical data were used. A sample of 65 students was selected, from a total of 200 students from the sixth and seventh Semester of the Business Management Career, of the Faculty of Administrative Sciences of the University of Guayaquil. Results showed that the initial goal was fulfilled but also many more were achieved, like: developing critical thinking, argumentation, collaborative and meaningful learning, motivating them towards reading, research, enabling personal growth, taking advantage of the many applications that the page offers, which were controlled and managed exclusively by the professor who performed the role of the classroom and virtual tutor, responsible for organizing all the activities, making the teaching-learning process interesting, funny, enjoyable, entertaining, different and new. A teacher of any subject or area will find this strategy, very helpful and informational for his classes.
