Abstract

For most of the College English learners, the popularity of Wechat not only influences their socialization, but also affects their language literacy. By a survey and data analysis, the effects of influencing factors are classified and some suggestions are proposed in this paper. Wechat has an impact on their language literacy in three aspects: the micro-learning style, the choice of vocabulary and the self-regulated learning abilities. To make the micro-learning more effective, college English learners should develop a strong sense of information awareness, set clear and attainable micro-learning goals, reflect on the learning tasks and combine micro-learning with the evaluation of self-study achievement, and improve language literacy by more reading tasks and practice.
