Abstract

The study sought to investigate the level at which social media chatting inscriptions affect Nigerian universities students’ academic writing and to ascertain the students’ perceptions toward the effectiveness of social media chatting on students’ English Language writing in terms of their gender.

A sample of 2,000 students was used for the study. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 200 students from 300 level in each of the 10 universities. The sample is made up of 1,090 male and 910 female students. Questionnaire was used for data gathering. The validity of the instrument was reviewed for face and content validity by experts from Linguistics, and Measurement and Evaluation. Cronbach Alpha technique was used to find the reliability coefficient of the instrument and a value of 0.80 was gotten. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics (percentage and frequency count) and inferential statistics (independent t-test and Analysis of Variance-ANOVA). Research findings revealed that the level and extent at which students in Nigerian higher institutions engage in chatting is very high; students agreed that social media chatting affects them in English Language writing; there is no significant difference in the level of chatting among students in terms of their different institutions; and there is a significant difference in the perception of male and female students towards the effectiveness of media chatting on students’ English Language writing.
