Abstract
Globalization initiates various metamorphoses in all life‘s domains. The field of education is not immune from such changes particularly with the extensive use of educational media in teaching/ learning process. This adoption proves its efficacy and benefits on both the learning process and the learners themselves. The present investigation is builton the hypothesis that the extent to which the use of Facebook (FB) educational groups as a helping tool could improve learners' English academic writing style. To gain empirical data, an experiment is conducted with a randomly selected sample from both first and second year levels at the department of English language, Batna-2 University. Besides, a questionnaire is administered to both experimental groups of each level to unveil their viewpoints, attitudes, and perceptions about using FB‗s educational group and consolidate our own data gathered through the experimentation. Consequently, this study opted for triangulation to analyse and present the information. The results obtained highly encourage teachers to adopt such helping aid to boost learners‘ academic writing style especially with first year-level learners, as set in the direction of our hypothesis. However, the suggested treatment failed to reach the predetermined educational goals as second-year learners show resistance to such use. These results lead us to recommend the early adoption of such educational tool at the initial level of the undergraduate phase
