Socializing through Facebook has indirect co-relationship with studentsd grade. In other words, it is unlike direct factors affecting studentsd grade such as time management, learning strategies, and learning styles. It is also restricted within a particular area: language learning. By means of updating our own Facebook page, we can keep in touch with foreign friends. In general, we seldom make a new foreign friend through Facebook system. In the case of maintaining the relationship with foreign acquaintances, however, the system is very accommodating. For instance, if you are an university student, you would get along with foreign professors. In this case, Facebook is more convenient than text message and call. The reason is the users do not have to answer the counterpartd s question immediately on the web. In addition, we can also acquire the cultural knowledge native speakers. The common topic of conversation is oned s own daily life, so that the used language is almost colloquial and the content reflects the way the one lives. Next, students can raise their ability to socialize through Facebook. The original goal of Facebook is socializing. What is more, we cannot but encounter different perspective from diverse races. Learning a certain knowledge means that we attain some information from various data bases such as book, visual materials. One thing we should keep in our mind is that a person is the most crucial database for someone, vice versa. Even though books usually specify the information accurately, communication among people has more influence on any other interaction. That is to say, socializing among people is one of essential factors for accelerating learning process. The improvement of sociability is exemplified in maintaining oned s own Facebook page.
