In recent years, a significant interest in the subject of Internet language has become noticeable as mobile communication has become prevalent and easily accessible by everyone, especially this new generation. In Lebanon, some voiced concerns and complaints about this practice were noticed by some teachers who claimed that texting features have leaked into students’ writing. This study investigates both learners’ and scholars’ views of the use of Textisms in an ESL/EFL (English as a Second Language/ English as a Foreign Language) setting. Through learners’ questionnaires and scholars’ interviews, this study shows that despite the high exposure to Textisms, this style remains restricted to informal communication as texters proved to be able to code-switch between formal and informal writing styles. From a psychological perspective, this trend triggers no particular belief in texters who remain indifferent about this practice. From a professional point of view, the results indicate that teachers are not favorable of the use of Textisms and believe it affects language, yet this effect is not major and does not threaten the future of the English Language. Language learning is a dynamic and evolving process, thus it is fundamental to know how to properly implement emerging developments to cater for this generation’s needs. |
