Abstract :
This study aims to investigate students' views on the use of Instagram during the Corona and as a platform for writing written text using qualitative research methods. In this study, 30 second semester English language students in the Islamic Azad University of Ahvaz have been used. Students participated in the writing class and the survey technique was used with open questionnaire tools to collect data. The results show that almost all students have a positive view of Instagram as a platform for writing text. Participating students found that Instagram was a fun, easy, and effective way to write text. However, a number of students also cited barriers to its use, such as the slowness of the Internet and the issue of IT privacy. Therefore, it can be concluded that Instagram can be one of the useful educational media, especially for writing, provided it is used and monitored properly.Keywords: Instagram, written text, privacy, fun media, Corona era.
