17. CASE STUDY:
Group Communication and Interaction in project-based
Learning: The Use of Facebook
in a Taiwanese EFL Context
This study shows how Facebook and its interactive and collaborative
features can help English as a foreign language (EFL) undergraduates to
process and reconstruct knowledge regarding project-based learning.
The research questions included: What types of communication
interaction behaviors do participants exhibit? How do participants
behave at various stages? How do student collaborations on Facebook
help them to process and reconstruct knowledge regarding the EFL
project? Open-coding and content analysis were conducted to determine
what learners discussed and their communication patterns.

18.  Among the various topics that students discussed, shared, and
explored on Facebook, they linked existing knowledge with new stimuli to
gain a new understanding of their experience.
The popularization of the Internet and the convenience of online social
utilities have changed how people communicate and influenced how
students learn.
English is the most commonly studied foreign language in Taiwan.
Students are required to learn English as a foreign language (EFL) at
various levels of schooling.
Several Studies have examined how Facebook assists EFL and ESL
students in enhancing their English ability.
This paper explored how Facebook is used in constructing knowledge
when working within an EFL project-based learning environment. Text
communication on Facebook was analyzed to identify participant
communication interaction behaviors and their learning process.
