My history

Hi, my name is Daniela, I am 19 years old and I am from Ecuador. I am a student of the pedagogy 

career of the National and Foreign Languages. I'm very interested in learning languages ​​and doing my 

best to study and find ways to learn better, so I look for learning apps where you can practice. Since it 

is difficult to adapt to the way your class studies, you could look for another way to learn and develop 

your knowledge. 

In today's interconnected world, social media platforms have transcended their original purpose as 

social media to become powerful educational tools. Instagram's evolution from a simple photo-sharing 

app to a multi-purpose platform with features like Stories, Reels, and interactive elements have created 

unique opportunities.

As we know, using a social app keeps people connected and attentive to each post or reel. This helps to 

understand that this can be beneficial in the educational field, since there is a close relationship 

between how fun and educational the correct use of this app can be.

• Features on Instagram can provide lessons.
• 
  
• Technologies can modify the learning process.
• 
  
• Improve the students' ability to understand texts.
• 
  
• Students are more motivating and less stressful than traditional exercises.

• The students did not know the meaning of certain vocabulary.
• 
  
• Distractions inherent in the social media environment.
• 
  
• The effect on learning word combinations (collocations) is more limited.
• 
  
• Using Instagram can be difficult due to the internet connection.

As we know, using a social app keeps people connected and attentive

The current high level of interest in this social network is a great 

way to maintain the interest of young people, and through this 

we  can carefully analyze the effects and benefits of studying in    

a  more interactive way.
