<p>The purpose of this study was to determine the languages used in Facebook wall posts and comments,<br />code-switching practice of these multilingual university students and functional orientation of their<br />Facebook wall posts and comments. This study was mainly based on the investigation of the latest 50<br />Facebook comments of 100 Malay public university students in Malaysia. The first language of these<br />university students is Bahasa Malaysia and English is their second language. The content analysis of<br />wall posts was used to analyze the code-switching language used in the Facebook and the primary<br />functions of the Facebook comments by categorizing them using Thurlow’s (2003) SMS categories that<br />contain nine orientations. The findings indicate that majority of the Facebook users comments are<br />categorized under friendship maintenance orientation to maintain existing relationships and create new<br />friendships. The findings indicate heavily abbreviated languages in English and Bahasa Malaysia. It is<br />found that situational code-switching between English and Bahasa Malaysia is heavily utilized by<br />multi-lingual Facebook users. The research is significant in a number of ways as it offers the<br />communication culture of Facebook among public university students in Malaysia. In addition, the<br />study indicates that Social Network Sites can also be a potential teaching and learning tool to teach<br />English since learners nowadays are members of various Social Network Sites.</p>

Abstract Social media has phenomenally changed the communication landscape. Particularly social network sites have received enormous popularity and user acceptance globally. The business model of many social network sites is based on advertising. The survival of these social network sites depends on the user acceptance of advertising appearing on these websites.

Social Network Sites (SNSs) are widely used by university students these days. The underlying reasons behind this use vary between academic and nonacademic purposes. The question is whether this use influences the students' academic performance or not. The aim of this study is to answer this question by examining the impact of five potential variables on the use of SNS, and the influence of this usage on the students' academic performance at Palestine Technical University- Kadoorie (PTUK). Five variables are included: the gender, age, faculty, duration of use, and computer self-efficacy. Stratified sampling technique was used to gather the required data, 369 valid survey items were retrieved and analyzed using SPSS 20.0. The findings revealed that among the five variables, only students' faculty and computer self-efficacy have positive influence on SNS use, and SNS use has positive influence on students' academic performance. The researchers recommend that PTUK should adopt strategies that direct students' use of SNS in beneficial ways
