Also, an interview and a survey were applied to both the teacher and students to get information on how they consider the implementation of social interactive media to learn the English language. The data collection tools were applied to a sample of ten students from the eleventh grade.udKey words: didactic innovations, writing skill, interactive social media, cooperative learning, strategies and techniques.
