Abstract: Social media plays a significant role in second language acquisition, offering both advantages and challenges for enhancing English proficiency. This study, “Impacts of social media on English language acquisition among English-Majored students” at private University in Can Tho, aimed to identify the benefits and challenges faced by English majors when using social media for language learning. A total of 146 students participated, with data collected through questionnaires and 15 students are selected randomly to the interview. Findings revealed various impacts, including access to multimedia resources, collaborative learning, and motivational engagement, as well as distractions, limitations in face-to-face interaction, and technological overdependence. The study concludes with practical implications and recommendations for future research.
