Enhancing Islamic Millennial Students' Writing Skills through Facebook Class

The low proficiency in English writing poses a significant challenge for the Millennial Muslim generation, particularly first-semester Ushuluddin students at IAIN Kediri in the 2022/2023 academic year, in utilizing Facebook as a learning platform. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of Facebook as a learning platform in enhancing students' writing skills. The research employs a Classroom Action Research method involving 220 students from six classes across four study programs. Students uploaded their writing assignments on Facebook throughout the learning process, tagging the researcher and their peers to receive feedback. The findings indicate that students' writing scores improved by 83.5%, and their motivation to write increased, with 95% feeling more encouraged to submit their work based on the feedback received. These results suggest that using Facebook as a learning platform is an effective method for improving writing skills. Therefore, this study recommends that lecturers integrate Facebook as a teaching medium in writing instruction.
