Jantima Simpson a noted scholar has contributed a lot in the research field of communication. In this article, she has discussed that Facebook has helped a lot in improving the communication of the students. She has tested through a series of tests such as T-Test, ANOVA and Scheffe, where the results have shown that students with low, medium and high level of writing have significantly progressed in their writing performance through the Facebook platform. This shows the importance of Facebook in improving communication. As supported by Cho, Furey and Mohr (2017), the corporate communication has significantly improved and adopted the method of social media.
