Abstract: This study investigates the effectiveness of utilizing corrective feedback delivered through social media networks to enhance the writing skills of students at Andijan State Institute of Foreign Languages. Adopting a mixed-methods approach, the research explores the integration of platforms such as Facebook to facilitate peer feedback, track student progress, and provide personalized learning experiences tailored to individual needs. The study involved a controlled experiment where participants were divided into an experimental group receiving online feedback and a control group receiving traditional feedback. The findings reveal that corrective feedback provided through social media significantly improves writing accuracy, fluency, and complexity. Students in the experimental group demonstrated marked improvements in sentence structure, grammar, vocabulary, and content organization compared to those in the control group. Moreover, the study highlights the potential of social media as an engaging and collaborative tool that motivates students and supports continuous learning outside the traditional classroom setting. These results underscore the importance of incorporating technology into language instruction, suggesting that social media networks can serve as an effective medium for enhancing the writing skills of learners in both formal and informal educational environments. The implications of this study are significant for educators seeking innovative methods to support student development and improve writing proficiency in the digital age.
