25. DATA ANALYSIS
RESEARCH HAS THREE MAIN SCHOOL OF
THOUGHTS:
Some educators and students think that textspeak
has negative impact on writing skills of student.
Enhances their written communication skills, and
therefore is a blessing.
Social Media has neither positive nor negative impact
on student’s writing.
26. 1ST SCHOOL OF THOUGHT
The first school of
thought bases its
argument on the fact that
for the sake of brevity,
concision, the simple
message system (SMS)
and chatting on social
media affects writing
such as grammar, syntax,
punctuation and
capitalization. It is diluting
English Language.
33. 2ND SCHOOL OF THOUGHT
People believe that
social media does
not really a threat.
The more students
write, the more they
improve upon their
writing skills.
Therefore, its
increased use rather
enhances the literacy
of users, instead of
harming it.
34. 3RD SCHOOL OF THOUGHT
Some has doubt whether social media really has
any effect (positive or negative) on English
grammar.
It is the way how we use language on social media.
35. 52% thinks that
social media is
fracturing English
Language, 36%
believes that social
media is not
fracturing English
Language and 12%
thinks that social
media has both
positive and
negative effects on
Language.
socila media fractured language
social media doesnot fractured
langauge
both positive and negative
effects
36. CONCLUSION:
With the ever increasing use of text messaging
among students this practice is damaging the use
of language in speaking and writing
Affect the standard forms in the long run.
Bad impact of SMS on the formal writing of
university students.
37. Poor spelling and punctuation habits of learners
Poor grades and a diminished knowledge of
correct Standard English.
The incorrect use of full stops, commas and
exclamation marks.
38. That’s why we need to
use standard form of
language, so that the
beauty and pure form of
language remains safe
as language is also
known as identity of the
group of people using
that language.
