3. Research Methodology
This chapter will describe the framework of the research in order to answer the research questions we have
asked in the chapter 1. The aim of this research is to find if the social media (e.g. Facebook) can promote
students’ writing in reducing their spelling mistakes.
3.1. Setting of the Research
This research is about promoting students’ writing skills by minimizing their spelling mistakes through the
use of Facebook. This research was conducted in Abdurrahman Ennacer High School. Abdurrahman
Ennacer is one of famous senior high schools which is located in the heart of Kenitra. It was created on
1969 as a middle school first. The first promotion of bachelor was on 1981. Abdurrahman Ennacer is a
comfortable high school. It is equipped with complete learning facilities. In general, it has 60 classrooms
included natural science laboratory and physics laboratory, multimedia room, library, a large office for
teachers, a mosque, a large parking, office administration, and some other facilities. The staff consists of 24
members, and 95 teachers. The total number of students is 2056, half of them are girls.
3.2. Participants
The participants of this study were from two classes of second year baccalaureate of economy in
Abdurrahman Ennacer High School. The total number of two classes is 90, where 43 students were girls
and 47 were boys. A sample was only 76 out of 90 students who participated in the research because 14
students were absent at the day of collecting data.
Unfortunately, I could not have a large sample because the host teacher has only two baccalaureate classes
of the same level, so the limited sample is not representative. However, it would be easier to work with two
classes that are taught English by one teacher.
3.3. Research Instruments
Concerning the instruments used in this research are the following: diagnostic test, questionnaire, and
classroom observation.
