Abstract
The benefits of Social Networking Sites (SNSs) for academic purposes have been extensively researched. In the studies of social capital and how through SNSs social capital can be formed and maintained, some studies have suggested that SNSs may build strong network and such network could benefit students in terms of educational attainment, achievement, and psychosocial factors (Ye, 2006; Ellison, Steinfield, & Lampe, 2007; Phua & Jin, 2011; Lin, Peng, Kim, Yeun Kim, & LaRose, 2012; Tamam, 2013) . However, the studies also found some barriers and implications of SNSs in the process of learning.
Most of the studies in social capital in SNSs were conducted in the context of formal education settings, in which SNSs were treated either as a part of certain courses, or relevant to students' formal education status. This study is going to be conducted in the context of informal discussion in English learning Facebook groups, with various types of members, both formal students and those who are interested in learning English. In particular, the study is going to employ the framework of social capital and actor-network theory in analyzing the discourse among the learners in order to find out the influencing factors and types of social capital that may be beneficial in learning English.

Abstract
Social Networking Sites (SNSs) has become a ubiquitous tool in human's life. It does not only serve personal purposes of socializing and communication, some studies have also explored the benefits and the downsides of using them for professional purposes in various lines of jobs. In the case of educators, there is generally a positive tone in regards to the use of SNSs, suggesting that they can be useful in developing and improving professional competences among pre-service and in-service teachers (Forte, Humphreys, & Park, 2012; Power, 2013; Bissessar, 2014; Manca & Ranieri, 2014; Soomro, Kale, & Zai, 2014; Sumuer, Esfer, & Yildirim, 2014).
This study is going to explore the network and relationship among actors in SNSs, particularly on identifying actors that are influential in the network and the types of relationship among actors, as well as how the strength of the network contributes on the social capital of the teachers in their profession. Using the framework of computer-mediated discourse analysis and social capital applied on conversations in Facebook groups of English teachers from Indonesia, the study is expected to shed light on the best practices of informal teacher development through SNSs.

This document provides an overview of statistics concepts including descriptive and inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics are used to summarize and describe data through measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode), dispersion (range, standard deviation), and frequency/percentage. Inferential statistics allow inferences to be made about a population based on a sample through hypothesis testing and other statistical techniques. The document discusses preparing data in Excel and using formulas and functions to calculate descriptive statistics. It also introduces the concepts of normal distribution, kurtosis, and skewness in describing data distributions.
This document discusses best practices for designing, distributing, and analyzing questionnaires. It describes the key stages of developing a questionnaire including selecting participants, designing question content and format, pre-testing, and coding responses. Important considerations for question design are outlined such as using clear, unambiguous questions aligned with research objectives. The benefits and drawbacks of open-ended versus closed questions are compared. Common problems with question types are identified. Effective coding of questionnaire responses into a summary sheet and software is explained. Piloting the questionnaire with similar participants to identify issues is strongly recommended.
This document discusses different types of interviews and considerations for conducting interviews. It describes structured, semi-structured, and unstructured interviews. Structured interviews are quick but provide less detailed information, while unstructured interviews provide more in-depth data but are more difficult to analyze. Semi-structured interviews combine aspects of both. Factors like the type of participants, location, timing, question phrasing, recording responses, obtaining consent, and analyzing the data are important to consider for effective interviews.
This document discusses observation as a research method. It defines observation as having three purposes: to learn, to describe, and to evaluate. There are two types of observation perspectives: descriptive observation, which describes tangible actions, and evaluative observation, which assesses against criteria. Researchers can be participant observers who participate fully or non-participant observers with minimal involvement. Data can be captured in real-time through field notes or with audio/video recording or screen capturing software. Tips are provided for writing detailed, descriptive field notes and developing an observation protocol to focus the observation.
This document provides an overview of discourse analysis as a research method. It discusses what constitutes a discourse, including language-in-use and how form and function are related. Context is important to discourse analysis. The document also examines speech acts, discourse structure using examples, and differences between spoken and written discourse. It notes some complications that can arise in analyzing unstructured spoken interaction versus more structured settings.
This document provides an overview of inferential statistics and statistical tests that can be used, including correlation tests, t-tests, and how to determine which tests are appropriate. It discusses the assumptions of parametric tests like Pearson's correlation and t-tests, and how to check assumptions graphically and using statistical tests. Specific procedures for conducting correlation analyses in Excel and SPSS are outlined, along with how to interpret and report the results.
This document discusses assessment and testing in the classroom. It outlines the purposes of assessment, which include providing feedback to aid learning and measuring students' competence. Different types of classroom assessments are described, such as exercises, projects, quizzes, and observations. The document also discusses developing tests for specific purposes, characteristics of good tests, reporting test results using band descriptors, and developing in-house tests and test questions for English for Specific Purposes courses. Key points covered include using assessment for evaluation, feedback, and course design, as well as ensuring tests are fair, consistent, and provide students with useful information.
This document provides tips for effective oral presentations. It discusses that effective presentations involve not just content mastery but also planning and delivery. Good presentations can reduce stress, boost self-esteem, and lead to job and career success. Key components of an effective presentation include an introduction to grab attention and outline the purpose and structure, a body to present the main topics and supporting ideas, and a conclusion to summarize and recommend. Proper preparation, use of visual aids, maintaining eye contact, and handling questions well are important for successful delivery. Getting feedback helps improve future presentations.
