    In the following Thesis Project, the impact that a social network with academic purposes might have was explored. In arder to choose the best tool, questionnaires with the purpose of identifying the students' interests were made and implemented. The result was Facebook. This investigation is divided into three main parts: Theoretical Framework, Methodological Framework, and Conclusions and Proposals. The main purpose of this investigation is to explore the changes that Facebook may have in terms of level of motivation in the learning of the English subject as well as in terms of academic performance results in teenagers. In arder to achieve this objective, an investigation related to the usage of technology and the impact it has had in our society was started. To do this, what renowned authors have said regarding the tapie was researched. Through this research it was possible to preve the benefits that an intervention using a social network with academic purposes has. Due to this exploration and implementation, the teaching of the English language, which is of great importance nowadays, could be complemented effectively. This has great educational implication since one of the characteristics of our country is that there is availability of technological resources at educational institutions, but it has not been given an appropriate and stimulating use to promete the learning in students yet. The context in which this implementation was conducted, was two schools in Santiago of Chile; a private school (School A), and a public school (School B), Tenth and Eleventh grades respectively. Once the intervention had already been conducted in these institutions, measurement instruments were employed in order to collect information regarding the impact that the process of using Facebook had on students.
