Abstract

Facebook has a potential to critically engage
students and merge their roles as writers and readers in
a digital environment. Facebook reinforces students to
share diverse cultural and individual rhetorical
appeals, situations, and strategies. In this pedagogical
setting, not only do students share a complex set of linguistic
and cultural codes, but they also become technologically
and cross-culturally competent human
power. Facebook pedagogy encourages students to contest,
question, and negotiate their cultural literacies and
their prior experiences in first-year composition classes
