Keywords: Facebook, language teachers, social networking, professional skills

Abstract

Nowadays, the diffusion of technologies, and in particular social networking, requires language teachers to learn new data in their teaching practices. Yet, by observing on the net, we remark the existence of many communities, especially on Facebook, which aim to inform teachers and language students about new knowledge. What are the reasons why a language teacher or student becomes a member of these communities? Do social networking sites help language teachers improving their professional skills? Developing professional skills is one of the most significant actions required for a language student to secure a teaching career.
