Application of Social Platforms in Language Learning

This paper elaborates the role of social platforms in enhancing language learning, with a focus on tools such as Tandem, Speaky, Reddit, HelloTalk, Duolingo, and Memrise. Apart from language learning goal-targeted platforms, common social platforms such as Skype, Zoom and Microsoft Teams have been analyzed in terms of language learning. These platforms provide diverse learning experiences through community interaction, real-time communication, gamification, and content-based learning. By analyzing their impact on comprehensibility gains, this study highlights how social engagement and interactive feedback contribute to improved language understanding. The findings suggest that platforms emphasizing direct communication with native speakers, such as HelloTalk and Tandem, yield the most significant improvements in comprehension, while structured and gamified tools like Duolingo and Memrise support foundational skills. Overall, social platforms represent a dynamic and accessible approach to modern language education.
