Default Do you think that to know about chat language is important for EFL undergraduates?
Hi,

How have you been? :)

I'm now studying on abbreviations used in chat rooms.

Although I've chatted with my foreign friends (most of them are
EFL learners) frequently, however, I've rarely used chat abbreviations such as b4 or lol etc. Therefore, I'm wondering whether to know about chat language or text terms is really important to talk with foreigners online.

I guess it seems to be beneficial t or useful for EFL learners' learning to know about some of them in this 'internet or SMS world'. Could you give me your ideas?

Thanks in advance for your opinion.

Sincerely,
Spoon
