Introduction
Writing is a form of communication which allows the students to put their feelings and ideas on paper or to organize their knowledge and beliefs into well-constructed text which has meaning (Christianti, 2013;Darnis, 2018;Warsihna, 2016). Students having ability in writing English is significant in this globalization era. Therefore, it is highly needed to provide students with English writing skill in order to help them become more competitive (Fu, Lin, Hwang, & Zhang, 2019;Szanto, 2020). Writing skill and reading skill had an essential place in individuals' social life as well as in school learning (Desimyari, Putra, & Manuaba, 2018;Nuzulia, 2016;Widayanti, Sutama, & Wisudariani, 2019). Writing in English often called as the most complex skills from other skills like speaking, listening, and reading (Naghdipour, 2021;Sun, Wang, Lambert, & Liu, 2021). It is also believed as the most difficult skills.
The students as the EFL learners are having difficulties in improving their writing skills due to the complexity and difficulty of the writing skills itself (Karaca & Uysal, 2021;Wong & Russak, 2020). EFL learners need to consider several aspects in writing skills. For instance, they need to consider about the topic, the function of the text, grammar, punctuation, etc. The method or the strategy used by their teacher also becomes a problem here. It means that the teacher should make an innovation of their method in teaching writing skills (Dewi, Kristiantari, & Ganing, 2019). Students in Indonesia are having those problems and it became significant obstacles for them in writing English (Masrur, Irawati, & Sulistyo, 2020;Musa, 2019). The writing process is stressful and difficult as students in Indonesia have assumed (Yuniar, Widiati, & Astuti, 2019). Students were unenthusiastic in constructing their writings and they also have troubles in it. It was due to several factors like students lacking interest in English, students lacking in vocabulary and grammar understanding, their teacher applied monotonic teaching technique in teaching them, and lacking of instructional media (Musaffak, 2014;Yusnidar, 2014).
In this 21 st century era, the implementation of Information and Technology (IT) is needed (Y. Chen, Mayall, York, & Smith, 2019;Ozturk, B.K and Degiztanlionglu, 2018). Several educational researchers and teaching experts have acknowledged that the application of computer technology can give advantages to language teaching and learning. Amongst numerous applications, computer-mediated communication (CMC) permits the learners to participate in and form a learning community in order to construct knowledge and develop relationship in an online collaborative setting (Chen & Tsai, 2021;Ozdamli & Asiksoy, 2016). Online classroom can be conducted by implementing IT in the teaching and learning activity (Kurtz, Tsimerman, & Steiner, 2014;Soni et al., 2018). The implementation of IT in EFL teaching and learning is needed in this 21 st century. Social media can also use as a platform for teaching and learning activity especially for writing skill (Setyowati & Hamidah, 2014;Yuniar et al., 2019).

It makes Facebook can be used in EFL teaching and learning to explore and strengthen relationships with others and build learning communities. The students' enthusiasm to learn due to the use of Facebook's group which make the learning process enjoyable (Moorthy et al., 2019;Sirivedin, Soopunyo, Srisuantang, & Wongsothorn, 2018). Online classroom allows the learners to practice and use target languages whether they are inside or outside the class. They can access it anywhere and anytime. In the learning process with the use of SNS, it is able to increase the interaction among students and it also decreasing language barriers and social inhibitions. social media has great potential in engaging learning in the curricular context (Hosen et al., 2021;Jogezai et al., 2021). Facebook as a widely used SNS has a potential in fostering language learners' awareness of sociopragmatic (Rap & Blonder, 2017). It can be interpreted that Facebook has been regarded as the facilitative platform for language learning. This study aims to analyze the social media Facebook that can be used in the learning process. It is hoped that Facebook can be used in the learning process.
