摘要：In the world of globalization, education in English is known to be the passport where the future belongs. The limitations of learning English should not be set just between books and classrooms. Using the existing application called Instagram, this approach was used for the 30 Year 9 ESL learners. Most learners under the ESL classrooms are from non-English speaking backgrounds. These learners possess a limited number of vocabularies in English and often repeat the same vocabulary. 30 Year 9 ESL learners from the ESL classroom would benefit from this learning approach in a creative manner and. Instawrite would allow learners to obtain new vocabularies and improve in their writing skills by using the application as a medium of writing. Activities like placing a caption or describing a picture would enhance the learners to learn new words. Through these, learners would be able to employ metacognitive theory and they would broaden their vocabulary by recalling the words used in the Instawrite activity. Educators would post a picture on Instagram and learners would be required to add a caption or provide a description based on the picture. The main idea is to get the learners to engage themselves in learning new words and increase the attention of learning English in an exciting manner. Learners would be able to learn at their own phase and it would benefit them in many ways. The platform of Instagram in the English lessons would provide great contributions to the society as parents could also benefit from this platform as they would see how the progress their children are doing. The findings showed the results of learners gaining the interest to write and enhancing their list of vocabularies. To summarize the above, Instawrite is a great platform for learners to enhance both their writing and vocabulary.
