Social networking has become integral to daily life, with Facebook standing out as a vital tool for communication. This study examines the use of Facebook for learning English as a foreign language (EFL) among undergraduates in the Media Department at the University of Derna, focusing on gender disparities. A questionnaire survey of 120 students indicated that they use Facebook on a regular basis, and the participants exhibited good attitudes, high motivation, and confidence in their ability to use the platform to enhance their English skills. They reported significant benefits, including acquiring new vocabulary and syntactic structures. The study concluded that both male and female students held positive attitudes toward learning English after using Facebook. The study concludes by encouraging further research into students’ perspectives on Facebook as a language-learning tool and addressing potential challenges in its integration.
