Abstract
This research project presents the description and analysis of Facebook as a supporting tool for
reinforcement to acquire vocabulary related to Word formation. The theoretical framework was built
on information from primary and secondary sources specifically books, articles, and journals based on
experienced authors like Kent and Leaver (2014) describing Facebook as an educational tool; Kieffer
and Lesaux (2008) with the importance of morphology; and Schmitt (2014) with the analysis of the
affective filter and the acquisition of languages. Additionally, this study involved students of the second
baccalaureate of “Liceo los Álamos” high school in Quito. Likewise, the design focuses on a qualitativequantitative method evidenced in two questionnaires, a pre-test and a post-test that were applied to a
total population of 12 students. After applying this methodology, it could be determined that English
teaching and learning based on Facebook could help students to extend and comprehend new
vocabulary in written exercises effectively. Thus, this project becomes an extra resource to let learning
be more significant and innovative.
