The study investigates the impact of social media language, particularly informal language, on formal English writing in EFL classrooms, focusing on teachers' perspectives and the influence of social media language on students' engagement in formal writing. Social media platforms often use informal language, affecting students' ability to effectively use formal academic language in the classroom due to potential negative impacts. Research findings reveal mixed opinions on the impact of social media on language development, with teachers acknowledging vocabulary and word choice difficulties and the need for corrective measures. The paper suggests strategies to improve language proficiency, including incorporating social media language into instruction, enhancing vocabulary, promoting critical thinking, media literacy, self-correction, and conducting qualitative research. The negative impact of social media language on formal English writing can be mitigated by implementing recommendations and supporting students in developing strong writing skills.
