The purpose of this study is to look at the effectiveness of SNS as a tool in supporting Japanese learners in their language studies and daily life through their current usage and language data analysis. According to the analysis of the SNS data, It has been observed that Japanese learners have been actively participating in comments and group functions with their friends as a strong communication method. In addition, Japanese learners differenciate the usage between the mother tongue and Japanese when gathering information and interacting. We can greatly anticipate SNS in becoming effective communication tools amongst Japanese learners and others alike.
