Social media has brought about a revolution in the learning process. Effective use of social media not only enhances learning processes, it offers wide range to explore more. It cut-across all spheres of learning development providing wide array of opportunity to learn at low cost. Learning of English language is now wide open for any learners, anytime through social media. In spite of these advantages, rural students were left behind due to their remoteness and other various constraints. The present study focuses on the frequency of using social media among the rural students; understanding the purpose of social media for learning English language; and problems related to efficient use. The study reveals that rural students were able to use social media for learning English language up to a certain extent but unable to use it effectively and efficiently.
