Resumo
Este artículo ofrece una propuesta para integrar la red social Facebook en una asignatura de inglés como lengua extranjera (EFL) en la enseñanza universitaria. Este trabajo tiene como objetivos: 1) desarrollar la expresión escrita y mejorar las competencias gramaticales y sociales del alumnado del grado en Estudios Ingleses de una universidad española a través del uso de Facebook y 2) conocer la opinión del alumnado universitario sobre el uso de Facebook en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje y las principales competencias adquiridas. La metodología es cualitativa-descriptiva con carácter exploratorio, aunque también se ofrecen algunos datos cuantitativos sobre los principales errores gramaticales del alumnado. Los datos se recogieron a través de la observación de los comentarios realizados por el alumnado en los debates de Facebook y con un cuestionario. Los resultados del cuestionario anónimo indican que el alumnado valora positivamente practicar la escritura en Facebook y es consciente de que además de aprender inglés adquiere competencias sociales que le serán de utilidad para el mercado laboral.
