This study investigates the landscape of English language acquisition in the digital realm, focusing on online learning platforms and social media discourse. Employing qualitative and quantitative analyses, we explore the patterns, interactions, and influences shaping language learning in the online environment. The study delves into the dynamics of language acquisition through a dual lens, examining formal platforms designed for learning and the informal language exchanges occurring on social media. The findings contribute to our understanding of the digital dimension of language acquisition, providing insights for educators, learners, and platform developers seeking to optimize language learning experiences.
