This paper discusses the use of social media for students at SMAN 1 Jonggat in completing their take-home English tasks. This is related to industry 4.0 that focuses on the use of internet and social media. This study uses quantitative and qualitative methods as it uses a quantitative and descriptive survey employed and the instruments used are questionnaires and interview to derive responses from 100 students who were selected randomly from IPA (natural sciences) and IPS (social sciences) majors. The finding shows that 95%of the students active in using social media as they are in touch with smart-phone and vary around 30 minutes to 6 hours in a day. The students use social media commonly to interact with people, to share information, and for the purpose of group discussion, students rarely use the social media. In addition, it indicates that most of students agree to use smart-phone and social media during learning time and a small number of students disagree, and absolutely the use of social media during learning time is based on students’ opinion and need. However, student learning obstacles are also caused by the lack of facilities provided by the school.
