ABSTRACT

This paper is based on an English teacher’s reflection; she shares her experience of using Social Networking Sites (SNS) to improve English writing skills in limitedly resourced secondary-level classrooms in Nepal. The narratives were revisited and reviewed based on the conversation history of SNS groups to see the learning dynamism, and they were subsequently analyzed and interpreted under themes and subthemes. The paper shares the major takeaways of the reflection.
