It was also found that variables such asparticipants’ departments, years of study, and self-reported SNS literacies significantly affected theirattitudes towards SNS use and their SNS practices. Finally, the quantitative data obtained confirmed asignificant correlation between teacher candidates’ attitudes and their SNS practices for languagelearning in general and for particular skills.
