These communications can be diverse and complex as it can be conducted through integration of text, graphics, animation, sound, and video. Many teachers have already implemented the practice of social media or multimedia in their classrooms. English as a foreign or second language (EFL/ESL) could be a difficult course to be taught and learned for both ends (teachers and students). In tertiary level many students fail to complete the course in one chance. They need improvement. As a result they need to retake the course. This group of students adds some extra challenge for the teachers .Therefore EFL/ESL requires innovation in the teaching process. One of the techniques to develop this situation could be the usage of the combination of social media and multimedia during the process of teaching and learning in the classroom.
