Abstract

In recent years, the Internet has changed the way people communicate with each other. With the advent of social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, the use of online communication has increased even more. This study aimed to investigate the influence of social media on the interpersonal communication skills of university students. A sample of twenty students was selected, and a mixed-method approach was used for data collection and analysis. The results showed that social media use has both positive and negative effects on interpersonal communication skills. On one hand, social media can enhance certain communication skills such as writing and online etiquette. On the other hand, it can also hinder communication skills such as face-to-face communication and active listening. Therefore, it is recommended that universities incorporate social media literacy training into their curriculum to help students develop positive communication habits and skills.
