The Instagram Role in Assessing Students’ Writing Skill

Abstract

The use of Instagram, a well-known social media platform, in English language training for students in the 12th grade is investigated in this study. With its style and photo captions, Instagram presents a special chance to get students involved in real-world writing assignments. The study investigates how Instagram improves writing abilities by offering real-world circumstances, promoting connection, and cultivating an audience. The Task -Based Language Teaching (TBLT) was adopted in the classroom activities. Language uses awareness through a review of the literature and empirical data. Teachers should close the gap between classroom learning and real-world communication by encouraging students to create unique and meaningful written expressions by integrating Instagram into writing assessments. Findings suggest that integrating Instagram into English language training facilitates the bridging of the gap between classroom learning and real-world communication. By encouraging students to craft unique and meaningful written expressions within the platform, educators can effectively promote language learning in authentic contexts. The study evaluates the impact of Instagram-based learning media on student motivation in writing. The integration of Instagram into English language training holds promise for enriching students' writing proficiency in the digital age. By leveraging the unique features of Instagram, educators can create engaging learning experiences that empower students to become confident and proficient writers in real-world settings.
